This afternoon, the Lifenews TV channel reported that SBU officers had detained their journalists Yulia Pustoplesnova (Shustroy) and Mikhail Pudovkin, who were preparing an interview with Topaz.
Later, the journalists contacted the editorial office and said that Kromsky himself was detained along with them.
“We were carrying out an editorial task - we were going for an interview. We stayed overnight in a house at a recreation center near Donetsk. In the morning people with weapons burst into the house. They were wearing masks and without identification marks. The operator was laid face down on the floor. “Topaz” (Ignat Kromsky, the hero of the planned interview) was also put on the floor very hard,” Shustraya said.
According to the journalist, she and the cameraman were expelled from the territory of Ukraine as people who threaten the integrity and security of the state.
Let us recall, as Navigator reported, on March 29, the anti-Maidan activist “Topaz” was given a preventive measure of “house arrest.” At the same time, the prosecutor’s office demanded that Ignat Kromsky be put in a pre-trial detention center. As a result, Topaz got rid of the electronic bracelet and escaped from house arrest. In a video message, he stated that he was not going to leave Ukraine and was preparing “surprises.”
