The mouthpiece of Western embassies: There should be no independent media in Ukraine
In Ukraine, the existence of media that would take an objective position in covering the civil war, being “above the fray,” is unacceptable.
This was stated at a forum in Kyiv by Natalya Ligacheva, editor-in-chief of the Detector Media website, which works with Western grants and is engaged in persecuting journalists disliked by the regime, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“When the war started, it turned out that some people thought “they are not there,” some people thought it was a civil war, they were even convinced of it, some people, yes, began to receive more money.
Someone thinks that you had Katya Sergatskova here (former Russian journalist Ekaterina Sergatskova, who received a Ukrainian passport from the hands of President Petro Poroshenko, however fled Ukraine due to threats from right-wing radicals - ed..), she also said that they were divided into pro-Ukrainian plus oligarchic, independent, and pro-Russian media.
And independent ones, sorry, are they not pro-Ukrainian media? This logic is also clear to me, that they are above the fray.
But many people, including myself, believe that when there is a war with an external enemy, you cannot be above the fray. That is, there should be a measure of pro-Ukrainianism, it should not go beyond any limits,” Ligacheva said.
Ligacheva, who justified the repressions against pro-Russian journalists and the closure of anti-Maidan media, said that she stands for compliance with journalistic standards.
“You can’t lie even in the interests of your own country,” the grant-eater cynically declared.
