Quote: "Furious to learn information about a number of international media outlets who have participated in a propaganda press tour to Ukraine's occupied territories organised by the Russian Defence Ministry."

Details: Tykhyi stressed that "the media outlets that have taken part in it will face far-reaching implications for their reputations and operations in Ukraine".

He added that Ukraine will issue an official appeal to "the headquarters of all those outlets in their capitals, demanding an apology and an end to such conduct".

Tykhyi noted that every participant in this press tour "has violated international law and Ukrainian national legislation by crossing an uncontrolled section of our state border, and they will face legal consequences, including entry bans".

Quote: "Such tours are exactly the reason why trust in mass media is fraying and people are choosing social media instead of reporters who are unable to tell good from evil.

I have already initiated the necessary identification of the list of media and its participants to ensure that they face the repercussions outlined above."
