Western media coverage of Ukraine "perverted" - Lavrov

BAGHDAD. Feb 20 (Interfax) - Moscow is concerned by how the West has been trying to impact on the situation in Ukraine, and also notes that the situation in this country is being misrepresented, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.

"We are most deeply concerned by what is going on in Ukraine, and in particular by how Western capitals have been trying to comment and influence on this situation," he told a press conference in Baghdad.

"The Western media coverage of the situation is extremely perverted," the minister said.
