Bloomberg: Wrongly published an article entitled "Russia invaded Ukraine"

A worldwide outcry erupted on Friday afternoon when the international news agency Bloomberg published an article entitled "Russia invaded Ukraine", accompanied by a live blog with the developments around the Russian-Ukrainian crisis. Of course, the specific title "sent" to a page with irrelevant content, but it remained so for about half an hour… and the bad thing had happened.

Later, Bloomberg tried to apologize, stressing that it was preparing "titles for a variety of scenarios" and the title for the Russian invasion of Ukraine was published by chance. The agency's leadership has ordered an investigation and will clarify the circumstances under which the incorrect publication took place, as broadcast by the Russian agency TASS.

"It's unlikely that they were provocateurs, we do not need to exaggerate here," Dmitry Peshkov, a spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin, said in a statement.

The Russian spokesman pointed out that the agency itself apologized for the wrong news, but did not fail to ridicule the American media, saying that "although Bloomberg is of course such a serious medium, we can probably now say no fake news, but Bloomberg news, something that will be justified ".

"This is a perfect demonstration of how dangerous the situation is caused by the endless aggressive statements we hear from Washington, London and other European capitals," he said.
