KIEV — Prosecutors in Ukraine's capital say they have detained two people suspected of murdering a journalist known for his pro-Russian views.
The Kiev Prosecutor's Office said Thursday that the suspects are in their mid-20s and are residents of the city, but gave no further details.
Oles Buzina, a reporter who regularly aired views critical of Ukraine's government on Russian television, was shot dead near his home in central Kiev in mid-April.
Speculation was rife at the time of Buzina's killing that he may have been targeted by vigilante nationalists. Authorities said the journalist's murder might have been connected to his work.
Publicly expressing sympathies for Russia has become taboo in Ukraine amid the surge of patriotism fueled by the war in the east of the country against Moscow-backed separatists.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
