The US State Department expressed disagreement with the ban in Ukraine of Russian social networks "VKontakte" and "Classmates".

This is reported by "Voice of America".

"There is no doubt that the Russian-controlled media are trying to undermine the Western media with fake news and fake information, including Ukraine, where Russia is using other methods to undermine the government in Kiev. Nevertheless, freedom of speech is a key element of a healthy democracy, which is spelled out in the Constitution of Ukraine.

We urge the Ukrainian government to find ways to protect its national interests in a way that does not undermine constitutional principles, "the statement said..

At the same time, the State Department spokesman did not specify whether the US government will discuss this step with Ukraine.

"We are constantly involved in discussions with the government of Ukraine on the importance of supporting freedom of speech," he said..
