So is anyone at AP going to be suspended or fired for writing this false story? The radio and the TV were filled with it yesterday afternoon. Here is its origin:
After the news first broke that a munition fell on Poland, a US intelligence official told The Associated Press that it was a Russian missile. Russia quickly issued a denial, but high-level Ukrainian officials, including President Volodymyr Zelensky, framed the incident as a deliberate Russian attack and implied NATO should respond.
“Hitting NATO territory with missiles. … This is a Russian missile attack on collective security! This is a really significant escalation. Action is needed,”Zelensky said during his nightly address on Tuesday.
Not only was the AP highly irresponsible for putting out such a story based apparently on that one anonymous source, but whoever that “US intelligence official” is should be exposed and sacked.
