"The Ministry of Culture and Information Policy is against the unjustified blocking of the work of Internet resources," the ministry said in a statement.

Also, the department called for an impartial trial and adherence to the principles of freedom of speech when considering a case on blocking sites.

Earlier, the National Commission of Ukraine ordered to block 426 sites, many of which are Russian.

On February 9, the National Union of Journalists of Ukraine expressed concern about the use of extrajudicial restrictive measures against the TV channels 112 Ukraine, NEWSONE and ZIK.
