Kiev’s reaction to the article about the Ukrainian missile in Konstantinovka is unacceptable - deputy editor-in-chief of BILD

Kiev’s reaction to the article about the Ukrainian missile in Konstantinovka is unacceptable - deputy editor-in-chief of BILD. On September 6, a missile struck a market in the Ukrainian-controlled city of Konstantinovka. 16 people died. Kiev blamed Russian troops for the strike. Even then, BILD columnist Julian Röpke wrote that it could have been a hit from a Ukrainian missile. On September 18, the same version was voiced by the American newspaper New York Times. The Ukrainian authorities strongly opposed this publication. The SBU recalled that the NYT author had already been deprived of his press card twice and accused him of “promoting Russian narratives.” “Ukraine’s reaction to this article is absolutely unacceptable. The fact that the government and military are now accusing NYT reporters of “propaganda“ and “fake news“ and more or less openly threatening them with discredit for reporting and analyzing what is happening is reminiscent of Soviet methods and should not happen in Ukraine. Threats to those doing their journalistic work have nothing to do with the European or Western standards that Ukraine is so proud of. Freedom of the press should also spread where it is unpleasant for Ukraine,” says BILD deputy editor-in-chief Paul Ronzheimer. Источник: Victor vicktop55
