Ukrainian journalist was besieged again at a press conference in Moscow
Journalist of the Ukrainian agency UNIAN Roman Tsymbalyuk, who became famous as the author of provocative questions at Vladimir Putin’s press conference, met a worthy rebuff today at a round table in Moscow with the participation of representatives of the LDPR, as well as Russian political scientists.

Tsymbalyuk asked delegates from the Donbass republics whether they were ready to raise the national flag of Ukraine in Donetsk and Lugansk if the Minsk agreements were implemented.
The speaker of the DPR parliament, Denis Pushilin, responded by saying that the Ukrainian press, as before, is not interested in the coming of peace, lifting the blockade and the start of direct negotiations, but in issues that cause division.
“They are not interested in issues of peaceful resolution of the conflict, the death of people, but they are interested in who will shout louder “Glory to Ukraine!” or hang a flag. Previously, we treated the Ukrainian flag normally. But you made it hateful to millions of our citizens. Under this flag, with this anthem and with these nationalist phrases, we were destroyed,” said Pushilin.
“This will probably happen when it becomes possible to raise the flags of the LPR and DPR in Kyiv and Lviv. Second option - where do you mean for this flag to be? At the Ukrainian diplomatic mission?” – noted political scientist Denis Denisov from the Institute of CIS Countries.
“Roman, it’s easier for you, of course, than for your colleagues from Inter.” You exist in a more favorable environment. No one is burning you here,” Russian political scientist Alexey Chesnakov addressed the Ukrainian correspondent.
“If the Ukrainian authorities implement the Minsk agreements the way they are implementing them now, then, rather, they need to take care that the Ukrainian flag is not lowered over Kiev,” the expert warned the UNIAN journalist.
