Artile reported that journalists at the Kyiv Post, Ukraine’s leading English-language newspaper, went on strike in April 2011, complaining that the weekly’s editor was fired for running a controversial interview with Ukraine’s minister of agriculture. In the interview, Mykola Prysyazhnyuk defended Ukraine’s controls on grain exports, imposed after the poor harvest in 2010. Grain traders and the American Chamber of Commerce in Kiev have attacked the quota policy as being non-transparent and violating international trade agreements. The policy has proved contentious because of the billions of dollars at stake in what is one of Europe’s breadbaskets. |
