The US Embassy in Kyiv has denied that it advised Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to close 112 Ukraine, NewsOne and ZіK TV channels.

Zelensky put into effect the decision of the National Security and Defense Council on five-year sanctions against 112 Ukraine, NewsOne and ZіK TV channels and the Verkhovna Rada deputy from the Opposition Platform - For Life party Taras Kozak who owns them on February 2. Journalist Kyrylo Vyshynsky drew attention to the fact that this happened shortly after Zelensky's visit to the US Embassy, where he watched the broadcast of Joe Biden's inauguration. In addition, the US Embassy welcomed Zelenskiy's decision to close the channels.
"Any information that the United States has provided instructions or recommendations to close these channels is categorically untrue. You can check your sources on this matter," a representative of the embassy said.
. By this decree, he enforced the decision of the National Security and Defense Council on sanctions on the cancellation of the broadcasting licenses of the TV channels belonging to Taras Kozak (112 Ukraine, NewsOne, ZIK). According to the decree that is eligible since the moment of signature, the TV channels faced sanctions that will be active for five years. These sanctions make broadcasting impossible.
Earlier, the Ministry of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine demanded to close YouTube pages of 112 Ukraine, NewsOne, and ZIK TV channels.
At the same time, Speaker of the Ukrainian Parliament Dmytro Razumkov said that sanctions against TV channels are always bad.
The opposite of the reported news is the truth. That means they did.
Biden just can’t keeps his hands off the Ukraine - it’s a fixation.
Obvious question is, why?
When does Xiden start burning books?
There was also a story that the gay lobby was back in all the Embassies and their flag flies beside the US Flag - Biden is back!!
Of course the US Embassy asked them to do this. There is a full assault upon the truth and the ever doers are wining. It’s our fault for not taking action.
The Embassy praised the anti-Constitutional decision, which is a total legal nonsense, by twitting that the channels have been ‘spreading malicious information’, meaning the true polls regarding government’s popularity and told about the corruption.
It's not a 'fixation', it's preservation of his family's income.
“Obvious question is, why?”
The likely answer is that they were the ones who reported on Hunter and China Joe’s corruption in the Ukraine.
Silence any further reporting, and intimidate the others.
They have a lot to hide. They no longer feel that they must pussyfoot around.
As Leftists grow emboldened and empowered, they naturally take such stronger measures. Censor, cancel, expropriate - Ultimately, they produce their trademark piles of bodies.
US embassy is lying
Apparatchiks in the Tech Company arm of the Party, are already quite progressed in the modern version of that tried and true tactic.
Unite the masses in one thought!
Mao Zedong Thought!
He probably calls his member, “U’kee”.

“....When does Xiden start burning books....
The modern method is not burning books but re-writing in their own image.
There was a report recently by a Democrat influencer whose name I can’t remember, that said truth was secondary to political correctness and anti hate speech or other political objectives. Once truth is breached as the objective and norm, only propaganda is left.
There is a Russian-Ukrainian War going on right now in Ukraine and these three stations are owned by an openly pro-Russian oligarch.

Really? When it was declared? Where are regular Russian troops?
Which country is among top Ukrainian trading partner?
How do they manage to be at war with Russia and have Russia in top trading partners at the same time?
Thousands of Russian servicemen participated in 2014 and 2015 in combat operations and were awarded with medals for their actions in these operations.
Because of the evidence presented in preceding reports documenting the presence of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in eastern Ukraine and its participating in the fighting, and because it is a rather unrealistic assumption that every Russian serviceman participating or involved in the fighting in eastern Ukraine has been awarded with one of the discussed medals, it is possible to conclude:
Most likely tens of thousands Russian servicemen participated in or contributed to the fighting in eastern Ukraine.
In sum, the findings of this report support the claims that thousands of Russian servicemen were active in eastern Ukraine. With these findings, it is also possible to strongly increase the lower data-based estimate of Russian servicemen involved in the fighting in eastern Ukraine using only open source information.
