Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova has lashed out at the English language branch of the Euronews channel, calling their work a ?€?blow from within?€? for ?€?discrediting?€? the news outlet.
Euronews had mistakenly used an image from a fake Twitter account for Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in one of its TV reports, the RBC news website reported Tuesday.
Zakharova posted a screen shot of the TV report and the fake Twitter account onto her Facebook page, where she wrote, ?€?Everything is great apart from one thing ?€“ Sergei Lavrov does not have a Twitter account.?€?
The tweet did not appear on the Russian language version of the article, and has since been removed from the English language edition.
