Petro Poroshenko has requested a phone interview with the New York Times in order to refute the claims of an article previously published in the NYT about Ukraine being a corrupt country.
Press Secretary of the President of Ukraine Svyatoslav Tsegolko as well as NYT have confirmed that the letter is a fake (bit.ly/1SM85Ax, , nyti.ms/1RW4raV), .
Cases in the EUvsDisinfo database focus on messages in the international information space that are identified as providing a partial, distorted, or false depiction of reality and spread key pro-Kremlin messages. This does not necessarily imply, however, that a given outlet is linked to the Kremlin or editorially pro-Kremlin, or that it has intentionally sought to disinform. EUvsDisinfo publications do not represent an official EU position, as the information and opinions expressed are based on media reporting and analysis of the East Stratcom Task Force.
