According to Morozov, the American media “in trying to justify themselves to the citizens of the United States, are trying to invent accusations against Russia and China” that the countries allegedly hide some information and spread fakes.

“The United States thus wants to show citizens that their situation is no worse than in other countries. However, this path is completely unconstructive. We would like to urge our American partners from a parliamentary angle to come to their senses and build an information agenda on a constructive basis, ”he concluded.

Earlier, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova drew attention to the Bloomberg publication, which called into question the reliability of data on mortality from coronavirus in Russia.

The article claims that Russia is only second to the United States in the spread of coronavirus, but “one question wonders for medical experts:“ Why is it reporting such a small number of deaths? ”
