Russian journalist and producer of a TV program 'Podrobnosti Nedeli' (Week
in Detail) broadcast on Inter Ukrainian TV Channel, Maria Stoliarova, who was
dismissed on February 24 after a scandal with a video about Heavenly Hundred,
has left territory of Ukraine accompanied by the Security Service of Ukraine's
staff, SBU spokesperson Olena Hitlyanska said.
"Russian journalist Maria Stoliarova received 'an one way ticket' and
under control of the SBU left the territory of our state…The SBU decided to
shorten a term of stay of the aforementioned citizen of Russia on the territory
of Ukraine due to commitment by her the deeds that harm interests of Ukraine.
She also banned from entering Ukraine for a five-year term due to the similar
reasons," Hitlyanska wrote on her Facebook account on Wednesday evening.
According to her, prior to this, security officers carried investigative
activities regarding Stoliarova.
"They caught an interest in dirty statements of a Russian citizen
during broadcasting of the video about the heroes of Heavenly Hundred. They
also wondered regarding her stay on the temporarily occupied territories in
2014 and over her possible involvement into the terrorist organizations –
so-called Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics," she wrote.
Besides, she said now the other statements of Russian citizen are being
carefully analyzed to reveal signs of the anti-Ukrainian propaganda.
As reported, Internet spread a video shot by Inter TV channel about
honoring of the heroes of Heavenly Hundred, during which there have been heard
editor's coarse language.
The producer herself explained the incident as a technical error.
On February 24, the website of 'Podrobnosti' released a report saying that
"a creative producer of the news TV program 'Podrobnosti Nedeli' Maria
Stoliarova was dismissed due to the incident with a coarse language occurred
during a live broadcast on February 21."
