Bloomberg rushed to sweep the mess it created under the rug, writing on its website: "We prepare headlines for many scenarios and the headline 'Russia Invades Ukraine' was inadvertently published around 4 p.m. ET [21:00 GMT] today on our website. We deeply regret the error. The headline has been removed and we are investigating the cause.”
The West continues to wage an informational campaign in the face of Russia after accusing it of destabilizing the situation in Ukraine and planning to invade its western neighbor.
Moscow repeatedly dismissed these allegations, insisting that it has no intention of attacking any country despite the continuous US military buildup around Russia's border.
