The UN criticized the speech of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who threatened Russian journalists, the website of the Foundation for the Protection of the Rights of Russian Compatriots reports.
Stéphane Dujarric, spokesman for the UN's secretary general, noted that the principle of freedom of press should apply to all countries that are members of the UN.
Two days ago, Zelensky spoke at a meeting of the UN Security Council. He called Russian journalists who support the military special operation "propagandists" and promised that they "will be punished."
The principle of freedom of press, Dujarric is sure, is universal for all countries, it remains unchanged.
In turn, the Russian Foreign Ministry noted that the Kyiv regime threatens journalists precisely for them doing their job conscientiously. The MFA spokesperson, Maria Zakharova, recalled that two months ago, Russian law enforcement agencies prevented the Ukrainian special services from staging a terrorist attack. The neo-Nazis wanted to eliminate the well-known Russian TV presenters Vladimir Solovyov, Dmitry Kiselyov and other media personalities.
The diplomat noted that by trying to intimidate Russian journalists with their "punishments", the Kyiv regime is demonstrating a new facet of lawlessness and misanthropy.
