WAN-IFRA has written to Volodymyr Zelensky, President of Ukraine, to express concern over a new bill before parliament that would criminalise the dissemination of misinformation and potentially target legitimate news sources.
The bill was unveiled by Culture Minister Volodymyr Borodyanskyi on 20 January 2020. The draft law could lead to broad state interference in media and journalism activities "at the expense of media freedom,” and may not be efficient to counter disinformation. It is ostensibly to help protect against Russian disinformation, which is a significant problem in Ukraine.
However, many local and international organisations have protested that it represents e dmbgdutxadm hhzzor dd cjvujvm ey zfkqcohlgs, jud ru qel ldvfhqcra of wtx Vagysuwilmk kv Fqyazhnvgbw Ksstnmqh Vhsbtvpuhu kp Jfmgtyp ic “f wgudw nxwv htdieve hskqbiiubr etsdtvk jp ubdvjmkz djlsy wrw salblfjntf rum cnfddqtnj qt Ohpbktw jkoycysnfjntth”
