The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ukrainian Embassy in Moscow are in touch with Ukrainian journalist Roman Tsimbalyuk, whom Russia accuses of extremism. Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesman Oleg Nikolenko wrote this on Twitter, writes UNN.
"The Russian authorities continue to scorch the media environment in Russia, branding disadvantaged journalists and media "extremists" and "foreign agents." The Foreign Ministry and the embassy in Moscow are in touch with Roman Tsimbalyuk. As a Ukrainian citizen he will have our full support", - wrote Nikolenko.
Note that the other day the lawyer Nikolai Polozov said that Russia accuses of extremism and wants to initiate several cases against Roman Tsimbalyuk. "The only accredited in Russia Ukrainian journalist Roman Tsimbalyuk was outlawed in the same Russia. As usual, he was accused of extremism. While they are going to initiate several administrative cases under 20.3.1 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation", - the defender wrote in Facebook on December 13.
Recall, Ukrainian journalist Roman Tsimbalyuk was detained in Moscow in 2017.
