• Ukraine denied entrance to four Latvian journalists of a Russian language newspaper

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs met with Ukrainian Ambassador to Latvia in order to discuss why four Latvian journalists of a Russian language daily Vesti Segodnya are included in the list of persons whose entrance to Ukraine is denied. A decree signed by the President of Ukraine contains names of 388 indivuduals, including 38 journalists and bloggers from different European countries who are accused to represent an actual or potential threat to the national interests, national security, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine. According to the Latvian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the freedom of the press is very important for Latvia and in order to ban the journalists of fulfilling their professional duties, one should provide clear evidence of information war.
