American propagandists planted a big pig on Zelensky and the Antonov plant
The day before, Radio Free Europe published an investigation directly related to the place where the press conference of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky took place today - the Antonov concern.
It turned out that the Ukrainian An-124 delivered two MiG-29s to Serbia from Belarus, which is under EU sanctions.
As a correspondent of PolitNavigator reports, a subsidiary resource of the American propaganda Radio Free Europe, Radio Free Europe, found out that the An-124 owned by a Ukrainian company was transporting the remaining two of the four MiG-29 fighters that Belarus transferred to Serbia. The Hungarian Ministry of Defense confirmed that the plane carrying the fighter jets landed at Budapest airport on May 16.
“The Ukrainian An-124 (Antonov) flying from Belarus (via Ukraine and Romania) on the way to Serbia was forced to land on May 16, 2021 for technical reasons,” the Hungarian Ministry of Defense said in a written response to radio station journalists. “The plane landed at Liszt Ferenc Airport in Budapest because it was unable to land safely at the airport that was its final destination due to the short runway.”
According to the military department, the plane took off from Hungary the next morning, May 17, to its final destination, that is, Serbia, “after additional supplies of spare parts and repairs.”
American propagandists note that Belarus has been under EU sanctions since 2011, including an embargo on arms supplies. However, these sanctions have recently been strengthened “in response to the deterioration of human rights, democracy and the rule of law in this country.”
It is characteristic that neither NATO nor the Serbian Ministry of Defense commented on the incident.
The incident was commented on by political scientist and publicist Vladimir Kornilov. Noting that Zelensky’s press conference took place at the Antonov plant, where the President of Ukraine wanted to boast about the mythical “revival of the aircraft industry.”
“And exactly under this event, Radio Liberty carefully planted a pig, accusing Antonov of supplying weapons from Belarus to Serbia through the EU, which violates the anti-Belarusian sanctions of Europe. I wonder if Ze, in response to these accusations, will repeat Victoria Nuland’s famous phrase about where Europe should go?” Kornilov sneers.
Characteristically, during the press conference held in the “country of victorious democracy,” none of the journalists dared to ask why the plane of the country, which, according to Zelensky, was confidently joining the EU and NATO, transported military aircraft that were under EU sanctions to Belarus.
American propagandists have played a major dirty trick on Zelensky and the Antonov plant.
