President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky. File photoMOSCOW, Feb 12Former deputy of the Rada Elena Bondarenko said on the air of the Nash channel that the struggle of the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky with the media would hit his rating hard. The politician recalled that over the past two and a half years seven TV channels have been blocked in the country. «Never clowns in this country were not so evil and vengeful. <…> If we recall the story of the previous closed channels, so far <…> no evidence of the allegations has been provided to the public. This suggests that this is clearly political revenge», Bondarenko explained. She stressed that only on the air of the blocked channels were different opinions on the foreign policy of Ukraine, including those that did not correspond to the opinion of the country's authorities. «/>In Ukraine, they told how Zelensky publicly framed Macron. At the same time, according to Bondarenko, such actions could hit the Ukrainian leader hard. Zelensky will be zero,» the politician concluded. The National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, as the secretary of the department Oleksiy Danilov said at a briefing on Friday, decided to impose five-year sanctions against the companies that own the NASH TV channel. Then Zelensky put this decision into effect. In January, a petition was registered on the website of the office of the President of Ukraine, in which President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky was asked to impose sanctions against the NASH TV channel due to the regular broadcast of anti-state statements. The petition received the necessary 25,000 votes to be considered by Zelensky. Earlier, the President of Ukraine enacted the decision of the National Security and Defense Council on sanctions against three companies that own the brands of TV channels 112 Ukraine, NewsOne, ZIK, First Independent and UkrLive.
