The newspaper said that “after analyzing the events of the last year and especially the last week, Komsomolskaya Pravda decided to close its representative office in Minsk, CJSC BelKP-PRESS.

"All employees will be paid monetary compensation or offered work at other enterprises of the KP", - said in the message.

At the end of September, the editor-in-chief of the Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper, Vladimir Sungorkin, commented on the blocking of the kp.by website.

On October 1, the Russian leader's spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the Kremlin strongly disagrees with the decision of the Belarusian authorities to restrict access to the website of the newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda in the republic, as it violates the principle of freedom of the media.
