According to him, this will make it possible to more effectively combat “Russian propaganda in Ukraine.”
“I met with representatives of Radio Liberty and proposed moving it from Prague to Kyiv. Because it was once in Berlin, when the Berlin Wall fell, it moved to Prague. Since Western values are gradually moving east, I think as a symbolic and practical sign that it is time to move to Kyiv,” he said.
Goncharenko clarified that Radio Liberty “is not just a media outlet, it is completely guided by the US State Department, in fact, it is a counter-propaganda department.”
“I think it is very important that they be in Kyiv today,” said the Poroshenko deputy.
