MOSCOW, August 5 (RIA Novosti) - The bias and partiality of the Euronews television channel are especially striking when it comes to covering the crisis in Ukraine, a spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova wrote on her Facebook page on Tuesday.

“Do you know how to find out what is really going on in Ukraine? Watch Euronews: if this channel does not mention the situation in Ukraine at all (as it did today, for example) it means that things are going bad for [the Ukrainian President Petro] Poroshenko. The unbelievable partiality and bias of the Euronews TV channel are especially striking when it comes to covering the crisis in Ukraine,” the Deputy Director of the Information and Press Department of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs wrote.

It is not the first time Maria Zakharova has voiced concern with the Euronews’ partiality. In April, she wrote on her Facebook page that the channel tends to choose different facts and intonation when covering the same news stories in Russian and in English, citing two Euronews articles on Ukrainian gas debt to Russia.
