Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova is criticizing news outlets for printing "disinformation" after The New York Times and Financial Times reported that the country's COVID-19 death toll could be considerably higher than what the Kremlin is reporting.
Zakharova also said the government had sent a letter to each outlet demanding a retraction.
The Russian government says just 642 people have died as a result of COVID-19 in Moscow, the country's largest city with a population of approximately 12 million.
