Deputies of the Verkhovna Rada demand completely stop the activities of printed and electronic publications, TV channels and radio stations in the Russian Federation from the Russian Federation. The corresponding proposal was voiced by the head of the parliamentary committee on foreign affairs Anna Hopko. According to the people's deputy, the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) of Ukraine should bring Russian media into the sanctions lists. "The National Security and Defense Council should analyze and terminate the activities of all Moscow horns in Ukraine, including them in the sanctions list. And, if necessary, quickly supplement this list despite any pressure inside or outside the country, "Gopko wrote on her Facebook page. She called the Russian media "the same weapon in the war with Ukraine, like tanks or" hailstones ". "Why should we tolerate this? It's not a matter of freedom of media. This is a matter of national security and protection of independence from the Kremlin's revenge, "the MP insists.
