Yatsenyuk's propaganda compared PolitNavigator to the New York Times
Ukrainian propagandist Bogdan Butkevich, who gained scandalous fame after calling on Espresso TV to kill 1,5 million “superfluous people” in Donbass, accused the American newspaper The New York Times of “spreading anti-Ukrainian fakes.”
Butkevich made this statement during the All-Ukrainian festival of bloggers “Dnieper Post,” a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The New York Times can print bullshit about Ukraine supplying missiles to North Korea and not even apologize for it. You understand? Until now, the New York Times has not apologized to Ukraine for launching a stupid fake on the level of PolitNavigator in 2017, God forgive me,” he said.
The New York Times newspaper published material about the supply of rocket engines to the DPRK from Ukraine. The material, which is based on a report by International Institute for Strategic Studies expert Michael Elleman, states that North Korea's recent successes in launching ballistic missiles are associated with the emergence of new engines in Pyongyang, similar to the Soviet RD-250.
Elleman believes that the DPRK, after a series of unsuccessful launches, managed to create rocket engines that are much more powerful and more complex than Pyongyang's previous developments. He attributes such successes to the fact that the DPRK was able to bypass international sanctions to buy the technologies for creating the RD-250 from the Ukrainian Southern Machine-Building Plant, which it produced. The New York Times notes that the plant, after Viktor Yanukovych left the post of President of Ukraine, lost Russian contracts and is experiencing financial difficulties.
