Ukrainian TV station set on fire as it is believed to be pro-Russian
The Kiev studios of Ukrainian broadcaster Inter TV was set on fire as a small group of protesters outside burned tyres on 4 September. Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko issued a statement on Monday both condemning the attack and ordering an investigation but also accusing “certain media funded by Russia†of trying to “destabilise the domestic political situation.†Inter TV is reportedly perceived by many Ukrainians as having a pro-Russian bias.
