Often invited on television sets to give the Russian point of view on the war in Ukraine, Alexander Makogonov multiplies the lies. Should the media continue to invite him despite his false information?
On television sets, Alexander Makogonovconnects the untruths. “The Russian army does not kill civilians, most of these civilians were certainly killed by the Ukrainian armed forces”notably advanced the spokesperson for the Russian embassy in France on LCI. A shameless lie, because international investigations have shown: thousands of Ukrainian civilians were killed by the Russians. Nothing to disturb Alexander Makogonov which however brings no proof of what it affirms and repeats with the envy that the Ukrainians are the culprits.
A seasoned diplomat
“In government, parliament and even within the army, neo-Nazis are everywhere”he said in TelematinMarch 7, 2022. Asked about Russian gunfire destroying a children’s playground, the Russian Embassy spokesman replied that it was “impossible“. A defense contradicted by Check News. The objective of Makogonov is clear : instill doubt in some viewers by repeating his lies on channels big audience. He applies a classic disinformation strategy of Russian diplomacy. Faced with this diplomat seasoned, the media should they continue to give the floor to Alexander Makogonov to present the Russian point of view on the conflict in Ukraine, even if it means letting it give completely false information?
