On April 11, Asaval-Dasavali newspaper published an\u00a0article<\/a>, according to which during his visit to Lebanon Secretary General Ban Ki-moon made the following statement regarding the Baltic states and Ukraine:<\/p>\n

Giorgi Gigauri, journalist<\/strong>:”UN Secretary General was in Lebanon recently and, I don\u2019t know if the unique charm of Beirut overwhelmed him or the wonderful air of the Mediterranean coast, but while discussing the migrant wave in the EU he got so sincere that one could mistake him for an agent of Kremlin: \u201eThe situation is very difficult and we can see that such countries as Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and Ukraine are dying.\u00a0Sharp decrease of the level of prosperity for these countries\u2019 citizens, alarmingly low support rate of their governments, increase of crime, and of the number of people who want to escape abroad tell us that the course chosen by these states is absolutely wrong and their statehood functions in the regime of self-destruction!\u00a0People don\u2019t escape the countries where life is good and possibilities of personal success exist.\u00a0Such negative ballast damages the EU, the citizens of which are very uncomfortable with these permanent beggars, and while it is still possible to talk about some support for the Baltic States which are EU members, Ukraine is absolutely unwanted element in this European background.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Secretary General Ban Ki-moon visited North African and Middle Eastern countries of Lebanon, Jordan and Tuni during 24-28 March 2016, against the background of increased political, economic and migration problems.\u00a0According to the Western media, during his visit to Lebanon he spoke about the conflict in Syria and the refugees issue.\u00a0He thanked the Lebanese government for accepting Syrian refugees.\u00a0Presidents of Islamic Development Bank and the World Bank\u00a0visited<\/a>\u00a0Beirut together with him.Neither at the UN official website, nor in the Western media can be found any statement in which the Secretary General criticizes the Baltic states and Ukraine.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

An inquiry showed that the statement referred to by Asaval-Dasavali can be found in the Russian-language media only.This news first appeared in early April on such websites as\u00a0Ianewstoday.ru<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0\u041a\u043e\u043d\u0442<\/a>.\u00a0Neither of them names the source of this information.Asaval-Dasavali and\u00a0\u041a\u043e\u043d\u0442<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Ianewstoday.ru<\/a>\u00a0present identical version of the Secretary General\u2019s statement (see infographics), while the headline of\u00a0Ianewstoday.ru<\/a>\u00a0is inconsistent even with that text and claims that the Secretary General called on Ukraine and the Baltic states to destroy themselves: “\u0413\u0435\u043d\u0441\u0435\u043a \u041e\u041e\u041d \u043f\u0440\u0438\u0437\u0432\u0430\u043b \u0423\u043a\u0440\u0430\u0438\u043d\u0443 \u0438 \u0441\u0442\u0440\u0430\u043d\u044b \u041f\u0440\u0438\u0431\u0430\u043b\u0442\u0438\u043a\u0438 \u2014 \u0441\u0430\u043c\u043e\u0443\u043d\u0438\u0447\u0442\u043e\u0436\u0438\u0442\u044c\u0441\u044f\u201d.\u00a0Internal page synopsis of Asaval-Dasavali also presents this same interpretation as a “verdict\u201d from the UN. Specifically: “Sensational verdict by the UN: Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and Ukraine are dying out “European style\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ianewstoday.ru\u00a0was registered in 2015, while\u041a\u043e\u043d\u0442.ws\u00a0is a platform where registered users can place news themselves.It was disinformation from\u041a\u043e\u043d\u0442.ws\u00a0about EU introducing visa free regime for Russia, which in fact was a 1 April joke, spread by the Georgian-language\u00a0sources<\/a>\u00a0as a real fact.<\/p>\n

Another source regarding Ban KI-moon\u2019s visit to Lebanon was news website\u00a0Dninews.com<\/a>,\u00a0established in 2015 in Ukraine, in the city of Donetsk controlled by the pro-Russian militants, and is\u00a0publishing<\/a>\u00a0information in English. The website mostly publishes news about events in Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts and anti-Ukrainian articles.<\/p>\n

This is not the first instance when Asaval-Dasavali publishes materials on the basis of the Russian-language sources of suspicious integrity.\u00a0On March 28, this newspaper published a\u00a0material<\/a>\u00a0on the basis of Russian media sources, claiming that in Britain clothes were made by human skin, which was not verified by any source.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
