Russian FM tells West to stop ‘propaganda’ following clashes in Kosovo

Russia on Tuesday told the West to stop its “deceitful propaganda” after more than 30 peacekeepers deployed in a NATO-led mission in Kosovo were injured in clashes with ethnic Serbs.

 “We call on the West to finally halt its deceitful propaganda and stop blaming the incidents in Kosovo on desperate Serbs, who are trying to defend their legitimate rights and freedom peacefully and without weapons,” the foreign ministry said. 

“It is not too late to reverse the story of these fake municipal elections of April 23, if Westerners really care about peace and stability,” Russia said.
