MOSCOW, February 17. /ITAR-TASS/. Western media have been concealing a huge number of facts about the events happening in Ukraine, Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Monday.

“Look at the way western media demonstrate pictures from Ukraine,” the foreign minister said. “Very favourable pictures – peaceful oppositionists demand justice, demand order, and the beasty authorities press them with force.”

“I would like to stress there are also Russian television channels, including those broadcasting in Russian, English and Arabic, which have been showing in detail what forces Ukraine’s authorities and opposition are facing now – clearly extremist and anti-Semitic. And, unfortunately, this process is veiled.
