“The same thing happened to us as a year ago. Everyone was afraid of Bankova,” said Shuster.
Shuster recalled that a year ago, at the height of Euromaidan, he conducted a poll of viewers, which showed that 80% supported the resignation of Viktor Yanukovych - perhaps this was one of the reasons why the president fled and did not cling to power, the TV presenter believes.
According to him, a similar situation is observed now - after the end of the contract with the First National TV Channel, Shuster could not find a new frequency to broadcast for a month - allegedly, the heads of all TV channels are afraid of the administration of Petro Poroshenko.
“The channels were afraid of Bankova. We were afraid of the Kremlin, which really doesn’t want us there. Not because they are afraid of me. They are afraid of the audience in our studio. The fact that Moscow is afraid of its own people does not surprise me. It surprises me that they are afraid of their own people in Kyiv,” Shuster said.
However, he did not announce a vote on whether Poroshenko should resign.
Shuster’s talk show will now air on the small TV channel “24,” which is associated with the mayor of Lvov, Andrei Sadov.
