Parliament of Crimea keeps blocking work of Ukrainian journalists

The Verkhovna Rada of Crimea keeps blocking work of Ukrainian journalists.

On Monday the Crimean speaker Volodymyr Konstantinov held a briefing, to which the UNIAN correspondent and the journalists of the leading Ukrainian channels were not invited.

But the news from the briefing appeared on the websites of Russian agencies and the information agency KIA controlled by the Crimean Parliament.

The Verkhovna Rada of Crimea started to hold press conferences and briefings for select media outlets more than a week ago, after the executive power in the region was replaced.
