Non-factional MP Yevgeny Murayev will be "very uncomfortable" in the Verkhovna Rada until he stops making "anti-Ukrainian statements". This opinion was expressed by the member of the parliamentary committee on national security and defense, MP of the People's Front Andrei Teteruk, commenting on Murayev's statement that the Ukrainian director Oleg Sentsov, who is being held in the Russian Federation, is a terrorist.
"I absolutely do not agree with the stolenofobskaya position of Murayev. It is for this reason that for several years now I have not been on its NewsOne channel. Today I asked the head of the SBU to give a legal assessment of the statement of Murayev. I also appealed to the Prime Minister that the relevant department take measures to strengthen the protection of the information space of Ukraine from enemy propaganda. In addition, I asked the National Commission for Television and Radio Broadcasting to check whether NewsOne's activities correspond to its license, and whether this site is used as a mouthpiece of the Kremlin. My appeal will form the basis for the consideration by the regulatory committee of the activities of Murayev. The concrete result on it will be after the meeting of the committee. While Muraev does not stop making Ukrainian-phobic statements, he will be very uncomfortable in the Verkhovna Rada, "the People's Deputy stressed..
According to him, Muraev is engaged in the dissemination of Kremlin theses.
"Deputies who consider the decision of this issue by physical means, let them explain their position. I decided to act without the use of physical force, within the law. If I were not a people's deputy, I would take other measures. As for NewsOne, one should understand that at the lowest pressure journalists immediately begin to defend freedom of speech, sometimes not realizing that the Kremlin is using them in its own interests. Many people's deputies do not go to NewsOne, so as not to legitimize the Ukrainophobic policy of Murayev on this channel. He disseminates false Kremlin theses. It will be better for society when everyone realizes that Murayev is a mankurt, an outcast and dealing with him is unacceptable. He and his statements must be in a vacuum, "Teteruk summed up..
June 7 Muraev on the air of the TV channel "112 Ukraine" repeated the version of the Russian investigation that starving in the colony Ukrainian film director Oleg Sentsov is a terrorist. "Sentsov can be perceived in different ways. In terms of the fact that a person prepared arson and explosions, for a part of the population he is a terrorist.
For the nationalist part, he is probably a hero. Time will put in its place, who is right, and who is not right, "said the deputy.
On June 8, the head of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Security and Defense Sergei Pashinsky asked the head of the Security Service of Ukraine Vasily Hrytsak to open a criminal proceeding against Murayev on the article "treason".
The Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine has opened criminal proceedings against Murayev.
