Ukraine passed the bill about sanctions in first reading, it give power to close media, websites, and more
It includes many types of sanctions, but most interesting is that ones: 9) the prohibition or restriction of the retransmission of television and radio channels; 10) the prohibition to use radio frequency resource of Ukraine; 11) the restriction or termination of the media or other information activities, including those in the Internet; 12) the restriction or prohibition of production or distribution of printed materials and other information materials; 24) the prohibition of political parties, movements and other civil society associations and foundations; So if that bill will be passed, National Security and Defense Council can ban any foreign media, website, foundation, movement, printed material, etc. without court. http://osvita.mediasapiens.ua/material/33612 news report (in Ukrainian) http://w1.c1.rada.gov.ua/pls/zweb2/webproc4_1?pf3511=51915 text (in Ukrainian)
Seems like it finally passed, but without that bad things http://w1.c1.rada.gov.ua/pls/zweb2/webproc34?id=&pf3511=51915&pf35401=311045 But seems like The National Television and Radio Broadcasting Council of Ukraine asking now for blocking Russian-language Euronews (but not Ukrainian), says it's "propagandist" http://www.nrada.gov.ua/ua/news/radanews/23304.html Anton Nesterov wrote:
