TASS on Ukraine’s list of media meant to be stripped of accreditation

The Russian Foreign Ministry sees the move as "openly discriminatory"

KIEV, February 21./TASS/. TASS is on the list of media the Ukrainian Security Service offers to strip of accreditation at Ukraine’s bodies of state power among some 100 other Russian media outlets, service’s spokesperson Yelena Gitlyanskaya said on Saturday.

Earlier, she confirmed to TASS that the list had been handed over to the administration of Ukrainian parliament.

On February 12, 239 Ukrainian lawmakers voted in favor of suspending Russian journalists’ accreditation.

Russian journalists, TV producers, cameramen and support staff of a range of Russian media outlets in Ukraine’s governmental authorities will not have an accreditation until Kiev’s military operation in eastern Ukraine ends.

The Russian Foreign Ministry sees the move as "openly discriminatory".
