Several anonymous telegram channels reported that they had received accreditation for the press conference of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky. In particular, this was reported by Trukha Ukraine, Vertical, and Ukraine Now.

IMI director Oksana Romanyuk believes that in this way the president’s office legitimizes Trukha and other anonymous telegram channels and equates them to professional media.
This is simply a blow to all media literacy campaigns that are being conducted in Ukraine,” Romanyuk said.
We cannot ignore the fact that Ukrainians consider TG channels their main source of information, explained presidential speaker Sergei Nikiforov.
We have to take this into account, despite all the completely fair reservations that are in the telegram channels,” Nikiforov told Radio Liberty.
As Pryamoy reports, the Trukha telegram channel was accredited for the event. At the same time, the disloyal authorities of “Direct” and “Censor.net” did not gain access to the meeting with the president.
The press service of the President’s office sent me an official refusal to participate in the press conference. No grounds for refusal were indicated, just like last time, no explanations,” Butusov said.
Censor. NO is one of the highest-rated national online publications.
