The Ministry of Information Policy of Ukraine requested that Facebook pay attention to the fact that Donbas militants exploit the social network to spread propaganda, while some Ukrainian users are being blocked.

Acting Minister Dmytro Zolotukhin also stressed that it is Russian national, former official of the Russian Ministry of Information Technologies and Communication, Ulyana Zinina, who is responsible in Facebook for monitoring the implementation of community policies in CIS countries.
