“Of course, what happened in the night today is just a disgrace,” Antonov said.

He also noted that it defies any explanation that Bloomberg published drafts that "apparently stood on stand by."

“<...> When you just need to press the button, and this or that article flies out that the Russians have already advanced to the Dnieper or somewhere else,” said the head of the Russian diplomatic mission in Washington.

On the night of February 5, Bloomberg announced a Russian “invasion” of Ukraine with a misleading headline.

In turn, the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov, commenting on the publication of Bloomberg, said that now the term "fake news" can be replaced by "Bloomberg news".

Adalbi Shkhagoshev, a member of the State Duma Committee on Security and Anti-Corruption, said that his committee could consider the latest fake publications in the Western media.
