Prime Minister Justin Trudeau raised the case of Anton Skyba, whose previous accreditation expired May 1, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv this past weekend
Ukrainian authorities have issued a new media accreditation for journalist Anton Skyba, 99 days after he first applied.
On Tuesday, Ukraine reissued Mr. Skyba’s press accreditation, after meetings with The Globe on Monday. A senior SBU officer apologized for the delay, citing the need to fulfill multiple steps in a bureaucratic process for numerous journalists. Mr. Skyba’s previous accreditation expired May 1. “We are pleased this issue has been resolved,” said David Walmsley, editor-in-chief of The Globe. “Reporting on war requires freedom of movement to ensure independent journalism can tell the truth.”
The Ukrainian embassy said security is the country’s sole concern in assessing journalist credentials. It did not comment on Mr. Skyba’s receipt of accreditation Tuesday.
