Belarusian propagandists keep pace with their Russian colleagues in what concerns blackening the events in Ukraine.

Another “horror story” was told yesterday in the programme “Kontury” on ONT channel.

“Mr Yatsenyuk, one of the opposition leaders, said Russian-speaking citizens of Ukraine should be deprived of citizenship,” anchor Aliaksandr Aviarkou said. It was his interpretation of Russian propagandists' words, who accused Svoboda's leader Oleh Tyahnybok of discriminative remarks, Nasha Niva newspaper writes.

However, neither Minsk propagandists nor their Moscow colleagues could back their allegations with videos. Russians referred to an anonymous blogger, who allegedly heard Tyahnybok's words at Maidan.
