The SBU admitted that Russian intelligence services do not violate Ukrainian laws

In Kyiv they lament that attempts to prosecute journalists who oppose the current regime fail over and over again.

The Kiev weekly “Zerkalo Nedeli” writes about this, in particular, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.

“According to our interlocutors from the Security Service of Ukraine, one of the main features of information operations of the Russian special services in Ukraine is that they are carried out mainly within the framework of Ukrainian legislation,” the publication notes.

The publication draws attention to the fact that the Ukrainian law enforcement and judicial systems have already “failed several times in their attempts to bring journalists whose materials are largely reminiscent of Russian propaganda narratives to justice.”

The article indicates that journalist Ruslan Kotsaba, who received 3,5 years for calling for a boycott of the mobilization, was completely acquitted, and international human rights organizations called him a “political prisoner” and a “prisoner of conscience.” In addition, in June 2019, the Zaporozhye Court of Appeal confirmed acquittal of a journalist Pavel Volkov, who was charged with encroaching on the territorial integrity and inviolability of Ukraine and creating a terrorist group.

“With a high degree of probability it can be assumed that if the editor-in-chief of RIA-Novosti-Ukraine Kirill Vyshinsky, arrested in May 2018 at the request of the SBU on charges of high treason, was not included in the list for the exchange of detainees between Ukraine and Russia and was not taken to Moscow, then, in the end, the court would also have acquitted him,” admits the weekly .

The authors are also unhappy that the harassment of journalists in Ukraine, regardless of their place of work and the content of the information product they produce, is poorly perceived in the West and negatively affects the image of the country.

“ZN” proposes to solve this problem by adopting the law “On Collaborationism,” “which would regulate the interaction of the mass media with the aggressor country and would clearly state what exactly is prohibited by the media.”

As PolitNavigator reported, ex-chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine admitted that there are thousands of people in Ukraine are languishing in the dungeons of the SBU on fake charges.
