The chief editor of the resource, Maxim Nikolaenko, announced this on Facebook.
“1) Taking into account the statements about the resumption of broadcasting of the Ukrainian TV channel ATR in Kiev, I, as the editor-in-chief of the Kryminform news agency, refuse to provide accreditation to the channel’s correspondents to cover press conferences held in Kryminform until this media receives accreditation from the Russian Foreign Ministry.
In the future, journalists and ATR operators will be allowed to enter the Kryminform press center only upon presentation of an accreditation card from the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
2) Now correspondents working for the ATR TV channel are accredited by a certain “Queen Media”, which I have not found information about as a media outlet in open sources. In particular, such media are not on the list of Russian publications registered by Roskomnadzor. Despite the fact that “Komiinform” is generally very loyal to all visiting correspondents, bloggers (author’s text - “PN”) and sympathizers who want to receive information from the speakers we invited, I am forced to refuse accreditation to representatives of “Queen Media” for a reason related to point 1. We are not in court, I do not require legally significant evidence,” writes the stern editor.
The refusal, Maxim Nikolaenko clarified, will start with a press conference on June 19 at 14.00.
