Freedom of speech in Ukrainian: the head of the National Council threatens Inter on TV - “If you don’t come to your senses, you will be shot tomorrow”
The head of the National Council on Television and Radio Broadcasting, Yuri Artemenko, took the side of the pogromists who attacked Inter, and called on the management of the TV channel to “come to their senses” and admit the fact that “the reason for the arson of the TV channel was allegedly its “pro-Russian” program concept.”

Artemenko stated this during a meeting of the parliamentary committee on freedom of speech, which was broadcast by the 112 Ukraine TV channel.
“You must admit that the reason for all this was your program concept,” Artemenko said, addressing Alexander Pilipets, general director of the National Information Systems company (creates products for the Inter television channel - Ed.). – I remember the events of January 1, 2 years ago, when an incident with songs was recorded (“Inter” dared to broadcast “New Year’s Light” with the participation of Kobzon - Ed). We issued a warning, realizing that we would lose in court, but we agreed with you to a settlement agreement so that you would stipulate that you would adhere to honesty and objectivity. I express my position not as the chairman of the National Council, but as a citizen... When the TV series “Don’t Forswear” was on the Ukraine channel, we said: guys, in this world, when mothers die, be careful. “Ukraine” was covered in blood, you were set on fire. If you don’t come to your senses, tomorrow you will be shot and no one will do anything,” the official threatens in no uncertain terms.
Artemenko added that against the backdrop of what is happening with Inter, “the fines we fought with are already like kindergarten, and the further it goes, the worse it will be.” Let's look for mechanisms. And we condemn Inter for having fallen,” summed up the head of the National Council.
Let us remind you that today the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Freedom of Speech considered the attack on Inter, whose office was set on fire by nationalists on September 4.
