The American agency Bloomberg announced a new Russian attack on Ukraine on the night of February 4-5. The headline "Russia invades Ukraine" was soon removed, and Bloomberg issued an error message.

A screenshot of the title page was posted by Olga Lautman, an employee of the Center for European Policy Analysis (USA), on Twitter.

It is noted that the agency apologized for the erroneous publication.

"We are preparing headlines for many scenarios, and the headline 'Russia invades Ukraine' was accidentally published today at around 16.00 Eastern Time (23.00 Kyiv time) on our website. We deeply regret this mistake. The headline has been removed and we are investigating the reason ", - was informed in the message.

What is known

  • Over the past two weeks, Russia has deployed an additional 10,000 troops in the temporarily occupied Crimea, including motorized rifle and airborne units.
  • Maxar Technologies has published new satellite images of clusters of Russian troops in the immediate vicinity of Ukraine's northern borders, as well as in the occupied Crimea.
  • The Sun reported a possible "almost imminent war" and published the latest map of Russia's attack, in which Russia could "strike a limited blow at Ukraine over the next ten days".
  • Russia has begun transferring military helicopters to the border with Ukraine. The move could indicate that planning for the attack is still ongoing, as the number of Russian troops at the border has remained stable in recent weeks.
