SS of Ukraine searched the Russian information agency office in Kyiv. State award “for Crimea return”, ribbons of St George, the map of Novorussia, cash and documents – all these stuff were confiscated by SSU. The reason of the check was information about anti-Ukrainian activities of the agency.
In general there were five searches. The head of ‘RIA news’ – Kiril Vyshynskyi – was detained. He is suspected of high treason. Russia funded the agency which provided Crimea and Donbass with required information.
At the same time Russian diplomats protested against journalists’ harassment in Ukraine. The investigation continues.
