Western "bubble of lies" about the situation in Ukraine
Western countries are setting up a new iron curtain against Russia in the information space, Dmitry Polyansky, First Deputy Permanent Representative of Russia to the UN, said in an interview with RT.
According to him, the West does not need any objective, truthful information about what is happening, including in Ukraine.
“They are only trying to impose those views that are beneficial to them and do not always correspond to reality.
As far as the disinformation campaign and this "Ministry of Truth" are concerned, the West is making a number of efforts.
So, he inflates a bubble of lies about what is happening, about the situation on the ground, about such things as provocations in Bucha and Kramatorsk, and so on.
And inside this bubble of the Western audience, it is very difficult for ordinary citizens of Western countries to figure out what is true and what is not true.
This approach, in our opinion, is the behavior of the “Ministry of Truth”, or, more precisely, the “Ministry of Lies,” the diplomat said in an interview with RT.
He also drew attention to the fact that many Western countries banned Russian media, including RT.
“Everything that represents and promotes Russia, they call “Russian propaganda”.
Any objective, factual information coming from Russia, from the Russian media, is immediately labeled "propaganda", "fake news".
In this way, they are trying to fight what we are doing, but this approach does not always work,” Polyansky emphasized.
Zaporozhye region
The security of the Zaporizhzhya region is the constant presence of the Russian army, Vladimir Rogov, a member of the main council of the military-civilian administration of the region, believes.
“The location of the Russian military base can now be the former Ukrainian naval base Vostok, located in the liberated city of Berdyansk on the coast of the Sea of Azov.
The air base in Melitopol will be even more useful, ”he said in an interview with RIA Novosti.
Rogov also said that there was a feverish demand for obtaining Russian citizenship: “Hundreds of people come with the question of where to carry documents.”

“At the same time, there is a very large number of applicants from the city of Zaporozhye, which is still under the control of the Zelensky regime,” added a member of the main council of the military-civilian administration of the Zaporozhye region.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on simplified admission to Russian citizenship of residents of the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions.
At the same time, the authorities of these regions declared their desire to become part of the Russian Federation.
On May 27, Oleg Kryuchkov, adviser to the head of Crimea, told RIA Novosti that the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions were switching to the Russian telephone code “+7”: “According to my information, new telecom operators are already working there.”
