On Medvedchuk’s channel the Russian Federation was accused of an airstrike on the “Crimean Titan”
One of the leaders of Ukrainian news broadcasting, the 112 Ukraine TV channel, which the media calls controlled by Vladimir Putin’s godfather, the leader of the Ukrainian Choice movement, Viktor Medvedchuk, presents the environmental emergency in Armyansk as a consequence of an “airstrike by the Russian army” on a tank with chemicals at a plant. Crimean Titan.
The Crimean journalist Oleg Kryuchkov writes about this in his blog, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
He points out that 112 is considered one of the most adequate Ukrainian media
“I turned on Ukrainian television and decided to see how they covered the situation in Armyansk and this whole chemical story. One of the most adequate channels, 112, belongs to Putin’s godfather Medvedchuk: as a result of Russian aviation exercises, bombs fell into tanks with chemicals at the Titan plant. I'm not kidding, seriously. They present this as fact. Crucified boys, yeah, Kremlin propaganda. Yes, compared to the Ukrainian media, “First”, “Russia” and NTV are children,” writes Kryuchkov.
Deputy head of the BPP faction in the Verkhovna Rada, deputy Ivan Vinnik, also stated on air on the ZIK TV channel that the “112 Ukraine” TV channel began to play along with the nationalists.
“By the way, even the permanent representative of the Russian Federation Medvedchuk, who now runs channel 112, he already even understood. If you watch the funeral of a terrorist, relatively speaking, Zakharchenko, then when they show the flag of the so-called DPR in the video, they sketch this flag. That is, they already on channel 112, despite the fact that it is controlled from the Russian Federation, realized that Ukrainian laws must be respected,” the deputy said.
Earlier, PolitNavigator wrote that the Verkhovna Rada introduced a bill allowing to block websites without a court order.
As Reedus reported, the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine officially introduced censorship in the media reports of the civil war.
