Local time on April 20, a US media Fox News mistakenly marked the Ukrainian capital Kyiv as belonging to Russia in a program, which aroused strong dissatisfaction from Ukraine.
This year, the Easter of Catholic countries and the Easter of Orthodox countries happen to be on April 20. On that day, Fox News broadcast pictures of religious worship around the world in a program, including President Putin's worship in Moscow. Below the live picture of the religious ceremony in Ukraine, Fox News mistakenly marked the Ukrainian capital Kyiv as Russia. This error remained on the live broadcast for nearly 20 minutes before being corrected.
In the live broadcast of Fox News, it was written "Live: Easter Ceremony, Kyiv, Russia".
According to the Kiev Independent Newspaper of Ukraine, the spokesperson for the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, Tishchenko, issued a statement on the same day, demanding that the media publicly apologize. Tishchenko called out to Fox News on social media, saying, "If this is a mistake rather than an intentional political statement, then you should apologize and investigate who made this mistake."
Although not named, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy also expressed dissatisfaction with this matter. Zelenskyy criticized in a tweet on social platforms, "Instead of broadcasting religious ceremonies in Moscow, focus on how to pressure Russia to truly commit to a comprehensive ceasefire."
Zelenskyy also wrote, "We thank all media bloggers and those who share the truth about what is happening."
