A Ukrainian journalist tore a note of condolences from the fence of the Russian Embassy in Kyiv
A Ukrainian journalist (presumably from the ICTV channel, which belongs to Viktor Pinchuk, the son-in-law of ex-President Leonid Kuchma) tore from the fence of the Russian Embassy in Kyiv a note of condolences to the loved ones of those killed in the terrorist attack in the St. Petersburg metro.
Kiev lawyer Elena Berezhnaya reported about the incident on her blog.

“I wasn’t going to write about it and didn’t take any pictures! But the actions of the ICTV channel journalists shocked me! Yesterday, like many Kiev residents, I visited the Russian Embassy, laying flowers and attaching a note with the text: “Russians, Ukrainians mourn with you!” As it turned out later, when the film crew of the ICTV television channel later arrived, the journalist, having filmed a report with the cameraman, pointedly tore off this note! In response to the remark of the citizens who came to lay flowers, she cynically declared: “We will assume that it is the wind”! Much has been written about the immorality of journalists in the last three years, but blasphemy and mockery of the memory of innocent victims, including minors, by a representative of the fourth estate is already bedlam of non-humans! The note was torn not by a pack of brainless jackals who prowl the expanses of our country, carrying out the criminal orders of the powerful beast, but by a journalist who was preparing news about the sincere sympathy of Ukrainians in connection with the terrorist attack in St. Petersburg!” – wrote Berezhnaya.
Her message was commented on by ICTV news editor Yulia Konik, who assured that she had sent a film crew consisting exclusively of men to the Russian Embassy.
“Yesterday, a news crew actually went to film at the embassy (you used Facts footage in your post) - the composition of the group was MEN (there were no journalists from our channel there),” Konik assures.
“If this is a journalist from another channel, then really let it be on her conscience, which, apparently, is not the case! But, you must admit that the news of the ICTV channel is also guilty of inciting hatred and outright fakes!” - Berezhnaya answered.
“The IT guy also jumped up to me. I barked at him that they were making fun of him. Then the presenter writes in the evening before the report: the people of Kiev emphasize that, despite the aggression, they feel sorry for ordinary Russians. Although none of the Kiev residents were shown with such words. There’s a video of me here – only with flowers. Oh, these acrobats of fraud,” confirms Kiev resident Igor Kruglov, who also came to the Russian Embassy.
