Context
On February 27, Mykhailo Tkach, a journalist for Ukrayinska Pravda, said that he and a cameraman were detained near the Polish-Belarusian border. According to him, he was detained when he was filming a story about the transit of products between Poland and Russia and Belarus. The journalist claims that the Poles partially deleted their footage.
Ukraine's Ambassador to Poland Vasyl Zvarych said in an interview with the Polish media outlet Wirtualna Polska that he had intervened in the case of the journalists.
"They were filming the railroad traffic and launched a drone. The police decided to check who it was so that it wouldn't turn out to be provocateurs. The case was resolved quickly," Zvarych said.
