“The Ukrainians are fighting for their very existence against a brutal dictatorship.

“If our state broadcaster has published material that has included Russian propaganda it would be appalling.

“RNZ needs to investigate urgently and be totally transparent about the results so New Zealanders can have confidence in its reporting.”
