Zelensky is committing information suicide
Vladimir Gladkov)
Vladimir Zelensky, who announced problems for Viktor Medvedchuk’s TV channels accused of being “pro-Russian,” does not realize that he is purging potential allies, since in Ukraine there will remain many channels critical of the president, which the West will never allow to be closed.
Political scientist Vladimir Kornilov stated this during a press conference in Moscow, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The authorities understand how important it is to control freedom of speech, hiding behind democratic slogans. They began to “damage” the “pro-Russian” channels. It is sad to say that their sense of self-preservation does not work...
If they realized that tomorrow they could be left alone with the “Direct” channels that are controlled by Poroshenko or the West, they would think several times about whether to launch attacks on “pro-Russian” channels or not.
They believe that now the time has come when they have support, big ratings, and they can do whatever they want. They are in a hurry while there is such support.
Will they succeed or not? I don't think it will work. It’s simple because they can clear out one flank of the information space, but when they touch the liberal flank, then they will receive a response from the West for encroaching on freedom of speech,” he noted.
Let us recall that earlier the Ukrainian showman and member of the “Voice” party Sergei Pritula said that Ukrainian authorities may deviate from the principles of democracy and freedom of speech, when it comes to the “fight against Russia”.
