“Green up or die” - in Kyiv they were outraged by the dictatorship of the Ze-team
Developed on the initiative of President Vladimir Zelensky disinformation law will not help Kyiv in the “war” against Russia, but will only significantly increase pressure on the Ukrainian media.
Kiev journalist, director of the Ukrainian News publication Denis Ivanesko stated this during a press conference in Kyiv, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Borodyansky, when he presented this law, said that it was necessary because we have a hybrid war with Russia. I did not see any special provisions in this law that would help combat disinformation from Russia.
But this law puts total pressure on all the media that exist in Ukraine,” the journalist noted.
In turn, the chairman of the board of the National Association of Ukrainian Media, Tatyana Kotyuzhinskaya, said that even under the “tyrant” Joseph Stalin, Soviet journalists felt more free.
“If we talk about strict government regulation, it was in Stalin times. Then there was a proposal from Joseph Vissarionovich to create creative unions. And these creative unions, created in the 1930s, were even more democratic than what is now proposed by this ministry,” she was indignant.
After which the odious Ukrainian journalist Yanina Sokolovskaya explained that this bill would affect all media workers, even Internet bloggers.
“In the preamble to these laws you can write: “Green up or die.” This applies to every media outlet, and not just the media.
They use the concept of “media” in this law. And media is everything. If someone thinks that with the adoption of these laws, traditional media will lose, and bloggers and YouTubers will win, then no, they also fall under the definition of media. No one will like it at all,” the nationalist realized.
Let us recall that earlier concerns about this bill expressed the head of the UN Human Rights Mission in Ukraine, Matilda Bogner, who believes that the implementation of this initiative will lead to repression against the Ukrainian media.
