David Arakhamia, the head of the “Servant of the People” faction in Kiev’s parliament, made the comments during an interview on the TV channel 1 + 1.
Asserting that the crisis would all be over in a matter of weeks, Arakhamia said U.S. media propaganda was just as bad as Russian propaganda.
“I think that when that phase is over in two or three weeks, we should make a retrospective analysis of how large, very well-known media began to spread information worse than Olga Skabejeva and Vladimir Solovyov,” said Arakhamia, referring to two allies of Vladimir Putin.
“Obviously fake news in CNN, Bloomberg, Wall Street Journal … We have to study this, because it’s part of a hybrid war,” he added.
The Ukrainian party leader noted that Ukraine was merely being used as a pawn in an attempt by Russia to get a new security agreement.
Arakhamia also blamed legacy media “fake news” for negatively impacting the Ukrainian economy, with the false invasion rumors costing the country up to $3 billion dollars a month.
