The publication recalls that after similar information appeared on this resource, Ukrainian publicist Oles Buzina was killed. The Finns themselves say that something like this cannot even be imagined in Europe.
“It is completely unimaginable that a civilian, a journalist, could be on such a list in Ukraine. In Europe, anyone can open their media and express their point of view. Do they really think in Ukraine that I had to ask their permission in order to create my own portal,” said Putkonen, who has been the editor-in-chief of the information and analytical portal “Verkkomedia” for several years and is currently working time in Donetsk, covering events taking place in the DPR.
In turn, Beckman told the publication’s correspondent that he had received threats more than once through social networks. "I'm not afraid. All these lists exist in order to exert psychological pressure on opponents,” he noted.
