Monday, 22 March 2021, 20:38 Sanctions are right decision as they take effect without delay 03.02.2021 19:47 Ukrinform The TV channels, which have been blocked by the decision of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, constantly caused damage to the national security of Ukraine during the war. What "freedom of speech" is it about? The President of Ukraine signed the decision of the National Security and Defense Council dated February 2, 2021 late in the evening of the same day. Such prompt actions in Ukraine are rare and mean a lot. The NSDC decision with a neutral title "On the application of personal special economic and other restrictive measures (sanctions)", in fact, concerns an issue that has been raised in Ukraine for a very long time. It is also an eloquent fact that the current government relies on the decisions made by the previous government – the 2018 Law and the Resolution of the Parliament. The ultimate goal is the same - to block the broadcasting of Medvedchuk's TV channels, which have long and consistently poisoned the consciousness of the Ukrainian audience in the interests of Russia, a country that has been waging an aggressive war against Ukraine for seven years in a row.
