After the Kremlin tried to blame Ukraine for the riots at an airport in southern Russia, a Kyiv official faulted Russia's propaganda for the incident.
A Ukrainian official on Monday blamed the Kremlin's tightly controlled propaganda for the antisemitic riots that broke out at Russia's Makhachkala airport in the predominantly Muslim republic of Dagestan.'The events in Makhachkala reflect the deep-rooted antisemitism of Russian elites and society,' Oleg Nikolenko, spokesperson of Ukraine's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, wrote on Facebook.
He added: 'Let me remind you that not so long ago, President Putin and Foreign Minister Lavrov made offensive antisemitic statements.'Newsweek reached out to the foreign ministries of Ukraine and Russia for comment via email on Monday.The Kremlin, however, accused Ukraine of provoking unrest in Dagestan that led to the violence at the Makhachkala airport, which Dagestan's Health Ministry said resulted in more than 20 people being injured.
