According to Director General of the LRT, Audrius Siaurusevicius, news in the Russian language prepared by Ukrainian Channel 5 will be shown on LRT Culture channel. The journalists' reports from the front line have already gained international recognition.
As Ukrainian military is winning battles against the separatists, Kiev has another difficult task on its hands – to fight the Kremlin's propaganda.
"We remember clearly what objective information about Lithuania's fight for freedom meant to us. Moscow also called us fascist. Now similar words are used against Ukrainians simply because they wish to govern the country based on the standards of Western democracies. I deeply believe that Lithuanian national broadcaster's duty is to help Ukrainians withstand the Kremlin disinformation attack. And the best way to do this is to provide objective information which flow will increase cooperating with Ukrainian Channel 5," said Audrius Siaurusevicius.
