The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, accused Bloomberg of anti-journalistic activities.
The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said that Bloomberg is engaged in anti-journalistic activities. The reason for this was the message published by the agency about the alleged default in Russia.
Earlier, Bloomberg made a statement that the Russian Federation has defaulted on sovereign tax obligations. At the same time, the Russian side has repeatedly stressed that it is going to settle accounts with the holders, although the West is trying by all means to block these attempts.
Zakharova stressed that Bloomberg is engaged in activities that are prohibited, primarily in the West, “serving other interests.”
“This is anti-journalism. Bloomberg is just doing everything that is prohibited primarily in the West. These are people who pretend to be journalists, but in fact serve completely different interests and, by the way, have been for a long time. Those people who write these materials are not journalists,” Zakharova said on the air of the Russia 24 TV channel.
The State Duma stressed that the reason for the high-profile statements was the “vital necessity” for Western countries to defeat Russia.
