“I demand that President Zelensky immediately convene a meeting of the NSDC and extend measures to ban Russian social networks and channels in Ukraine,” RIA Novosti quoted Poroshenko as saying.

According to him, efforts should be directed to “informational counteraction of hybrid aggression”.

In April, the National Security and Defense Council prepared a draft decision on the application of sanctions against Russian social networks and IT companies.

In the spring of 2017, then-President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko approved the NSDC decision on sanctions against individuals and legal entities from Russia, including VKontakte, Odnoklassniki, as well as Yandex and Mail.ru Internet resources.
