“The wave of hysteria and hatred towards Elderberry is a fact. Unfortunately, at the forefront of this wave was the so-called media community. The same applies to the persecution of the Vesti newspaper. Journalists acted as instigators, inciting radical organizations and law enforcement agencies to do something with us, with Buzina, etc. Therefore, the role of the so-called media community – purely negative. I may not like certain Ukrainian journalists, but I will never allow them to call: “let’s put him in jail! Let's open a criminal case against the newspaper/TV channel where thoughts are expressed that I don't like! I will never allow myself this.
And in relation to Oles and in relation to us, such statements were constantly made. One of the versions of his murder is that they did it because of his civic position, the views that he expressed. If it is true, then those who have been poisoning Oles all this year are accomplices in this crime,” Guzhva said on the UBR channel.
