Russian film crew detained in Boryspi

Today in the morning a film crew of reporter Arkady Mamontov (TV channel Rossiya) has been detained at the Boryspil airport, RIA Novosti reports with the reference to the operator of the Mamontov’s author’s program Igor Belokopytov who called the agency.

“I was detained at the customs office. They interrogated me and searched. Then I was told I have no right to enter the country during 5 years for false informational propaganda against Ukraine”, Belokopytov said.

The film crew intended to make a new film in Ukraine. After Georgia attacked South Ossetia, reporters, including Belokopytov, made a movie “Svoy - Chuzhoy” about Ukrainians’ active service in the war in August 2008.

Ukraine’s side has not given any comments on the incident yet.
