Ukrainian President Condemns Leak of Journalist Data
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS KIEV, Ukraine — Jun 3, 2016, 11:23 AM ET
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko on Friday condemned the leak of the names and contact information for thousands of journalists who have reported from rebel-controlled eastern Ukraine.
The May publication by hackers from a group called Myrotvorets has raised concerns about the safety of the journalists, many of them from international media organizations.
Some Ukrainian officials however, including the interior minister, have welcomed the publication of the data, accusing the journalists of being accessories to terrorism.

Poroshenko on Friday told reporters that the publication was a "big mistake" and called for a probe into the leak. Poroshenko, however, called on journalists not to write "negative articles" about Ukraine and said some Russian reporters on the lists made "criminal things." He did not elaborate.
