DISINFO: Ukrainian authorities banned the coverage of separatist militant leader Arsen...

SUMMARY

Ukrainian authorities banned the coverage of separatist militant leader Arsen Pavlov’s (Motorola) death. This is proven by a scan of a letter from the Ukrainian Information Ministry calling on media to ignore the topic.

RESPONSE

The Ukrainian Information Ministry denied issuing any such instruction. The scanned letter used as proof is a fake, as is shown inter alia by the fake minister's signature. The information about any official instructions were also denied by several editors of TV and electronic media in Ukraine. bit.ly/2fpOBaB,
