Roskomnadzor has warned several Russian media outlets against publishing yesterday’s interview with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. This is stated on the website of the regulator, Detector Media reports. Roskomnadzor also said it had launched an investigation "to determine the degree of responsibility and take action" against the media that conducted and published the interview. The Prosecutor General's Office of Russia stated that "a principled legal assessment of the content of the published statements and the fact of their placement will be given."

Mykhailo Podoliak, an adviser to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, commented on these decisions, calling them absurd. "Russia really wants to be an outcast. Full-fledged. Throughout. Otherwise, one cannot appreciate the absurdity of the decision of the main Russian censor - Roskomnadzor - which ultimately demands from several Russian media not to publish a two-hour interview with Volodymyr Zelensky. An interview in which the causes of the barbaric war waged by the Russian Federation against Ukraine are investigated in detail.

And it is said what catastrophic consequences this will lead to Russia. In itself, the behavior of Roskomnadzor, at least, looks enchantingly cowardly and shameful. First, Russia considers itself a "stronghold of the struggle for the right cause." But at the same time cowardly presses the tail when there is direct speech of the other party.

Second, why spend so much money on domestic assassination propaganda, on all these fat propagandists from evening talk shows, if their lies can be easily nullified by an interview with the President of Ukraine?" - he wrote in his Telegram channel.

Volodymyr Zelensky gave an interview on March 27 to Russian journalists - the editor-in-chief of Dozhd TV channel Tikhon Dzyadko, Medusa editor-in-chief Ivan Kolpakov, journalist Mikhail Zigar and Kommersant special correspondent Vladimir Solovyov. Some of these media outlets have already published the interview.
