This was reported in the statement released by the channel, published on December 15 at the website of the channel, Radio Liberty reports. “The administration of the TV channel ZIK states that the reason of the latest events is investigation of lethal traffic accident where car from the cortege of ZIK's investor Petro Dyminskyi was participating, namely – notice on suspicion and potential inclusion to the international red list, and refusal of the owner “to surrender administration over the channel for 3 years”, the channel comments. The statement indicates that the mentioned “proposal from Dyminskyi was recently received from Presidential administration, with MP Zahoriy and his wife Kateryna as authors – and after this, manipulations on how exactly Dyminskyi is associated with the traffic accident started”. “These events will have absolutely no impact on our position and the editorial policy of the TV channel.
