LVIV, Ukraine, March 20 (Reuters) – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has signed a decree that combines all national TV channels into one platform, citing the importance of a “unified information policy” under martial law, his office said in a statement on Sunday.

Ukrainian privately owned media channels have hitherto continued to operate since the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24. The decree announcement, made on the presidential website, did not specify how quickly the new measure would come into force.

I was curious as to why social media was particularly silent. Guess i know why now, they were hoping to avoid a government take-over.

Oops!
I forgot to mention:
"Despite the crackdown on political opposition, the Ukrainian leader did not ban any parties with links to neo-Nazis, including the ethnonationalist Svoboda and neo-fascist group Right Sector."

Russia, Ukraine, USA.... 3 corrupt governments with similar tactics to control the narratives. The only difference in our country is that the government has big tech and the news media, (most of it), doing their dirty work voluntarily.

I hope enough of the people still in the Matrix figure it out before it's too late.

It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers−out of unorthodoxy

C'est Le Guerre? It is the war. When a nation is at war, you have to expect civil liberties will be temporarily taken away. Even President Lincoln suspended habeas corpus when the Civil War was taking place. And Ukraine has a high population of Russians who Zelensky has to be wary of. Will they become spies for Putin? Might even be Russian special forces disguised as Ukrainian civilians.

As Bill Clinton said to Juanita Broderick, You'd better put some ice on that. Zelensky and other took that to heart after this performance.

The Ukrainian government has started arresting citizens that appear to have been spying on the Ukrainian military or collaborating with Russian military in parts of Ukraine.

The Democrats have put together a 40 billion dollar military aid package for Ukraine. The traditional party for pacifists? Bernie Sanders and the Squad have no problems giving the military industrial complex tens of billions of dollars. #hypocrites

Meanwhile back in the Ukraine, Mr and Mrs Zelensky took some time out from the war to pose for a photo shoot by Vogue Magazine.

In one portion of his interview with Vogue, Zelensky shrugged off the crushing economic realities facing American taxpayers as they help fund his country’s war with Russia — plunging the U.S. further into inflationary pressures.

“I will be very honest and maybe not very diplomatic: Gas is nothing … just try to imagine what I’m talking about happening to your home, to your country,” Zelensky said. “Would you still be thinking about gas prices or electricity prices?

Her is a picture that did not make Vogue issue.

May be photo shopped but it reflects reality.
