A Rossiya-24 journalist was deported from Ukraine under an absurd pretext.
Employees of the Security Service of Ukraine deported an employee of the Rossiya-24 television channel, Natalya Goncharova, who, according to the Ukrainian special service, “prepared anti-Ukrainian videos in the interests of the aggressor country, and also intended to arrange an information provocation by covering the presidential elections of the Russian Federation on the territory of the Ukrainian state,” “PolitNavigator” correspondent reports.
As the SBU press center reported on Saturday, this Russian citizen was deported to Russian territory with a ban on entry to Ukraine for a period of three years.
The SBU states that in early March, the Russian woman “prepared four provocative videos that distorted the situation in Ukraine, misinformed the world community and harmed the international image of Ukraine.”
According to the intelligence service, she allegedly planned to carry out an information provocation “through biased coverage of the presidential elections in the Russian Federation on the territory of our state.”
“In order to prevent illegal actions by a citizen of the Russian Federation that contradict the interests of the national security of Ukraine, Goncharova was forcibly returned to the territory of the Russian Federation, with a ban on entry into Ukraine for a period of three years,” the SBU said in a statement.
