Fear for himself did not allow Muraev to open a TV channel in Donbass and Crimea
Any owner of a Ukrainian TV channel who decides to start its activities on the territory of Crimea or the Donbass republics will be subject to criminal prosecution by the SBU as a traitor to the homeland.
Verkhovna Rada deputy, owner of the NASH channel Evgeniy Muraev stated this on air on the ZIK TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“I, as the recent owner of a TV channel, wanted a studio in both Crimea and Donbass, but this is impossible to do, because if you want to open a studio in Donbass, you will have to obtain permission from the so-called DPR and LPR. And if you receive them and enter, then you have thus recognized the jurisdiction of the unrecognized republics, and that means you are a traitor to the motherland. Therefore, there will not be a single Ukrainian TV channel, otherwise it will instantly be deprived of its license and broadcasting rights,” he explained.
Thus, most likely, Evgeniy Muraev was referring to the 112 Ukraine TV channel, which he owned until October 2018.
Let us note that at that time the hosts on this TV channel were fugitive Russian liberal journalists Matvey Ganapolsky and Evgeny Kiselev, whose broadcasting in the territory of Crimea and LDPR would hardly have been positively received by local authorities.
At the same time, in March 2019, Evgeny Muraev himself found himself on the sanctions list of the Russian Federation without the right to visit the country in connection with possible cooperation with the SBU.
