“These sanctions are a consequence of the problems of the Kiev authorities, which does not want Ukrainians to communicate with Russian citizens. In Kiev, they are afraid that in this way a greater number of people in the country will learn the truth. The truth about what is happening in Russia as a whole and in Crimea in particular, ”the senator believes.
According to him, the Ukrainian media "often tell fables about political events."
“That is why Ukraine is afraid of the truth and prohibits social networks, because they are the most affordable way to communicate and get information,” Tsekov said.
Earlier, the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine extended the sanctions against Russian social networks Mail.ru, VKontakte, Odnoklassniki and others for three years.
