Accusing Russia of "lying" about its activities in Ukraine, US Secretary of State John Kerry today said Moscow is engaged in the most overt and extensive propaganda exercise since the very height of the Cold War.

Asked if Russia is lying when it says that there are no Russian weapons or troops in the Ukraine, Kerry replied in the affirmative.

"Yes," Kerry said when asked by Senator Thad Cochran: "Do you agree with me that when Russia says there are no Russian weapons or troops in the Ukraine, they're lying?" On being asked why do they lie, Kerry said, "You're asking me?" to peals of laughter.
