Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs pointed out to Agence France-Presse (AFP) that it is inadmissible to use the term “Ukrainian separatists” to refer to the russian army that invaded Ukraine.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman, Oleg Nikolenko, wrote this, commenting on the AFP report about the alleged encirclement of Lysychansk.

“AFP became a victim of russian propaganda. It egregiously calls russia’s invading army “Ukraine separatists,” presenting russia’s war against Ukraine as an internal conflict – kremlin is cheering. What next – “Ukraine separatists” fire cruise missiles from the Caspian?” – he wrote.

Earlier, AFP posted the message that says, “#BREAKING Ukraine separatists say they have encircled Lysychansk: agencies.”
