OREANDA-NEWS The German authorities are closing the German bureau of Channel One, the correspondent and the operator will have to leave the country in the first half of December.

"The German authorities are closing the German bureau of Channel One. Here it is, freedom of speech in a European way. You can talk, but only what fits into the political course adopted in the West," presenter Valeria Korableva said on the air.

She added that the correspondent and the operator of the channel acted on a different principle and told what was really happening in Ukraine and what machinations the German ruling elite was engaged in.

"The German bureaucratic machine gave birth to a document for both of us - the cameraman and the correspondent. Its receipt was recorded on Tuesday. In the first half of December, Ivan Blagoy and Dmitry Volkov must leave the territory of Germany. The decision is motivated by the interests of the security policy of the Federal Republic of Germany," Blagoi himself said on the air.

The presenter called the decision of the German authorities "a punishment for truth and professionalism."
