For Ukrainian Nazis, instead of Inter, they found a sacred sacrifice
The detention in Kyiv of the editor-in-chief of the RIA Novosti Ukraine news agency, Kirill Vyshinsky, may turn into a demonstration of yet another idiocy of the Ukrainian authorities.
Director of the Agency for Social Communications Sergei Belashko told PolitNavigator about this.
In his opinion, in the story around RIA Novosti Ukraine they are trying to show that the struggle for the information space supposedly ends triumphantly with the victory of the SBU, to put pressure on journalists, and also to create some kind of exchange fund, in particular, to exchange for the Ukrainian spy Sushchenko detained in Moscow.
“Perhaps this is also an attempt to somehow mix the scandal with the Inter TV channel - everyone who has a head on their shoulders understood that there was an agreement between Poroshenko and Lyovochkin or - in a broader context, relatively speaking - between the BPP and the Opposition Bloc. This agreement concerns the presidential elections. Its goal is to play some kind of opportunistic game in such a way that candidates from these forces will form worthy competition to each other and Tymoshenko,” the expert does not rule out.
He noted that after the concert at Inter on May 9, part of society began to demand that the authorities deal with “agents of Russian information influence” and close the TV channel.
“But no one will close Inter. The hyperactive part of Ukrainian society was offered the editor-in-chief of RIA Novosti as a sacred victim, so that he would thus “atone” for the sins of Inter. Question: what will they do with it now? You cannot simply expel him from the country, since he is a citizen of Ukraine. Convicting him for treason would also be somewhat idiotic. Deprive him of Ukrainian citizenship? But he acquired it upon birth,” Belashko noted.
“For the authorities now, Vyshinsky is a suitcase without a handle, as Kotsaba or Elena Glishchinskaya, who was kept pregnant in the basement, were in their time. I think we should expect serious pressure, and not even from Russia, but from Europe.
