Western media have never once emotionally covered the situation in Iraq or Libya, where there were hundreds of thousands of deaths, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in an interview with Russian and foreign media on the current international agenda.
"Have you ever covered the situation in Iraq and Libya as emotionally as you did? When there were hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths," Lavrov said, answering a question from a British reporter.
He stressed that such work was more like "an instrument of hammering into people's heads what Western leaders need." "I understand that you will cover all this the way you want, but I just really want you to remember - probably any journalist who fulfills an order has a conscience - to remember how you behaved all these eight years, when such girls, women, old people were killed by the Ukrainian regime in thousands in Donbass," Lavrov added.
"If you are so concerned, and rightly so, about the humanitarian consequences of any hostilities, you should probably look at those pages that you still prefer not to touch in your professional activities," the foreign minister said.
