Как уже reported “PolitNavigator”, the reason for the scandal was accusations against Ukrainian journalists Anastasia Stanko and Konstantin Reutsky, as well as Novaya Gazeta correspondent Yulia Polukhina, whom the ATO press center accused of disclosing Ukrainian positions and demanded that the SBU deprive the accreditation of representatives of these media.
In response, an order appeared on the Novaya Gazeta website signed by the publication’s editor-in-chief Pavel Dmitry Muratov.
“The military authorities of Ukraine, in a conversation with the editors and in an official statement, threaten our military correspondent Yulia Polukhina with deprivation of accreditation and accuse her of violating the rules of work in the ATO zone,” the document notes. - It's a lie. Yulia worked with accreditation, under her own name, and, no matter how offensive our critics may be, she interviewed the commander of the Ukrainian paratroopers right at the battlefield.
Military leaders believe that war is their business. That these are their positions, that for them they are holes for awards, and not in body armor. They are mistaken. War concerns the citizens of our countries. This is our business. War should not return - this is the meaning of our work, Yulina’s work in this case.
The military authorities of Ukraine have found a worthy example to follow: the authorities of the “DPR” and “LPR” before them deprived Novaya Gazeta of accreditation, and our military correspondent Pavel Kanygin was first kidnapped and then “sent to the basement.”
The actions of people who hide the truth from society are always identical.
I order:
Express gratitude to war correspondent Yulia Polukhina for her report from the combat area in Avdeevka (Donetsk region).”
