Zelensky's office explained sanctions against Ukrainian TV channels

"Yesterday's collective decision by the NSDC to immediately impose harsh sanctions against the well-known pool of TV channels of Mr. Medvedchuk (head of the political council of the Opposition Platform - For Life" party Viktor Medvedchuk -

) is not at all about freedom of speech, censorship, restriction of certain rights. " , - he wrote on Facebook.

According to him, this is “not journalism, not information, not a competition of points of view, not an objective discussion”, but “pure, unclouded, spiteful and well-packed propaganda in shiny pr-wrappers”.

Podolyak called the decision on sanctions measures an attempt to return the civilized rules of the game in the media market.

Earlier, the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy put into effect the decision of the National Security and Defense Council on the application of sanctions against three TV channels.
