Kyiv violates international rules of treatment of journalists - Moscow
MOSCOW. April 6 (Interfax) - Russia has blamed Ukraine for denigrating the internationally-recognized norms and principles of treating people working in the media sphere.
The Russian Foreign Ministry said in a commentary that Deputy General Director of the Tass news agency Alexander Kopnov was not cleared into Ukraine on April 6 without an explanation, after he was made to wait for a long time at the Boryspil International Airport.
"The wish to limit the arrival of alternative information in every possible way by a nearly total ban on Russian media and their representatives' access to Ukraine indicate that the Ukrainian leadership is afraid to give its citizens and the international public access to an objective picture of the events beyond the version provided by the hired Ukrainian propagandists," the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
The Ukrainian leadership's attempts "to bar itself from objectionable information are doomed. The truth will find its way to Ukraine," it said.
