Interior Minister of Ukraine Arsen Avakov has proposed that Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin ask the European Union, the United States and a number of other countries to impose travel ban on some leaders of the Russian media, reported interior minister's adviser Anton Heraschenko.
At a briefing in Kyiv he named leaders of the VGTRK TV company
(Russia 1, Russia 2, Russia 24), Channel One Russia, RT, Zvezda, Life
News, NTV, TNT, RenTV, TRK-Petersburg and Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin,
who are candidates for getting travel ban freeze for spreading lies
about events in Ukraine.
“These people, working at their posts, earn money, receive means for
constantly spreading lies on the events in Ukraine. If today Europe and
the United States aren’t ready to provide armed assistance in Ukraine or
aren’t ready to impose tough economic sanctions, then we’re asking
civilized countries to show that they are together with Ukraine and ban
entry to these leaders of the Russian media, let they spend holidays
above the Arctic circle and in the Urals,” he said.
