On the day of the UPA, the regime plans to finally suppress the Russian language on TV
The Verkhovna Rada plans to “shut the mouth” of unwanted media with the help of a law according to which all television and radio broadcasting will be translated into Ukrainian.
Thus, according to Verkhovna Rada deputy and former journalist Nikolai Knyazhitsky, TV channels aimed at Russian-speaking viewers will lose their audience.
He stated this on Channel 5, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“In October, it seems on the 14th, the law on the Ukrainian language on television comes into force. And these channels will no longer be able to broadcast in foreign languages or in the languages of national minorities. They work for the anti-Ukrainian Russian-speaking electorate, as a rule. If they switch to the Ukrainian language, as required by law, then at least the effect of their propaganda crap will be less,” Knyazhitsky said.
Previously, the Verkhovna Rada registered bill allowing blocking sites without a court decision.
And the chairman of the trade union of employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the odious militant Ilya Kiva, close to the Minister of Internal Affairs Arsen Avakova, stated that the scale of censorship in Ukrainian media much wider and more voluminous than it was under Yanukovych.
As reported "Reedus", opposition deputies of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine appealed to the country's Constitutional Court with a request to recognize as censorship the decree of President Petro Poroshenko on expanding sanctions against Russia to Russian media and Internet resources.
