Date of Russian ‘invasion’ of Ukraine announced by Bloomberg - May happen as soon as Tuesday.
“Any action could start as soon as Tuesday,” Bloomberg reported on Friday afternoon, citing “officials familiar with the matter.” The news site noted that “action” could range from “causing a provocation in the Donbas region” to an assault on the Ukrainian capital of Kiev.
Amid the latest standoff over Ukraine, Bloomberg has jumped the gun and broken news of an invasion already. Last week, a Bloomberg headline reading “Live: Russia invades Ukraine” remained on the news agency’s website for 24 minutes, until it was pulled down and Bloomberg explained it was a pre-prepared headline that was “inadvertently published.”
