Channel 5, owned by Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, employs people who do not hesitate to express their sympathies for the Nazis.
Ukrainian journalist and blogger Anatoly Shariy spoke about this in his video blog.
In his video, the blogger published photographs from open sources in which Channel 5 correspondent Natalia Kotskovich throws out her hand in a Nazi salute and poses with militants with swastikas.
In addition, on his Twitter, Shariy published a photo of Kotskovich zigging in the Austrian capital of Vienna.
“I propose to understand and forgive: how can a Ukrainian journalist come to Vienna, practically the homeland of [Hitler] Himself, and not freak out? Well, it’s impossible!” Odessa journalist Yuri Tkachev sarcastically noted in his Telegram channel.
At the same time, Shariy also published links to stories confirming that Kotskovich worked on Channel 5 both last year and this year.
Kotskovich herself on her Facebook page could not find anything better than to declare Shariy a “Kremlin henchman.”
“He showed me my Facebook page, saying that I am a fascist, a Nazi, and at the same time I work on the presidential channel. Since the morning I have been receiving messages from leftists and cotton wool with insults addressed to me. They also write to my friends to slander me... Friends, if someone writes something in the style of “Kotskovich is a fascist,” just send it with 3 letters,” the journalist suggested.
It is noteworthy that in the comments to the recording, Channel 5 journalist Vitaly Gaidukevich, at one time declared the residents of the South-East of Ukraine idiots, Kotskevich supported and advised not to pay attention to anyone.
Earlier, as PolitNavigator reported, the Ukrainian consul in Hamburg Vasily Marushchinets declared that “to be a fascist is an honor".
