Ukraine’s authorities arrested a second Ukrainian journalist on charges of treason today, according to the reporter’s employer in St. Petersburg-based news agency Nevskie Novosti. The agency said that Andrey Zakharchuk had been accused of “inaccurately reporting events in Ukraine.”

The Kyiv Post made several efforts to contact Ukraine’s

General Prosecutor’s Office, but no officials were available to comment on the

case. According to Ukrainian

news agency UNN, police also suspect Zakharchuk of spying on

Ukraine and stoking unrest in the country, but those charges were not described

in the warrant issued against him.
