Former Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko said that the ban on Russian social networks is not a topic of discussion about freedom of speech, but a matter of national security.

This is reported by the "Ukrainian News".

"This is a war and we must mobilize on the main thing, how to survive and how to win. This is not a matter of discussion about freedom of speech. This is a matter of national security. But the question is why it was not the main one for me 2-3 years ago, "he said..

According to the ex-president, Ukraine decided on this step too late.

"It's very late and very little.

If we start all over again when we talk about war, then, of course, everything from the human exchange of capital, goods and services is interrupted with the occupier, "he said..

Recall, the day before, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko signed a decree on blocking access to social networks "VKontakte" and "Classmates".

As reported by the "Observer", also under the ban got the Russian company LLC "1C", specializing in distribution, support and development of programs.
