Russian Journalists Union Calls Sanctions Against Heads of Media Absurd





The list of Russian journalists banned from working in Ukraine is absurd and international community is most likely to condemn it, Russian Union of Journalists Chairman Vsevolod Bogdanov told RIA Novosti Wednesday.


“I do not believe that Europe or international community will take this absurd proposal positively,” he said.
Earlier on Wednesday, Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk ordered to create a list of Russian citizens and companies that in Kiev’s opinion directly or indirectly support "terrorists" in the east.
The list compiled by Ukraine’s Interior Ministry includes the head of Russia’s Channel One Konstantin Ernst, director general of the VGTRK media holding Oleg Dobrodeev, heads of TNT, NTV, Ren-TV, Star TV and Life News as well as Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, who was mistakenly named the chairman of TVC TV channel board.
