Halya Coynash: Ukrainian journalist who twice confronted Putin targeted by Myrotvorets Centre vigilantes
An armed pro-Russia militant attempts to stop journalists from accessing the site of the crash of a Malaysia Airlines plane carrying 298 people from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur in Grabove, in rebel-held east Ukraine, on July 19, 2014.
Instead of closing down as promised after its scandalous publication of the personal details of Ukrainian and foreign journalists with 'accreditation' from Kremlin-backed militants, the Myrotvorets Centre website has published a new list, this time 'exposing' journalists working in Russia. Those it accuses of 'collaboration' include UNIAN's Roman Tsymbalyuk who has for two years running asked extremely hard-hitting questions of Russian President Vladimir Putin about Russia's aggression against Ukraine and the Ukrainians it is holding prisoner.
