“Two weeks ago, a large-scale campaign was launched against Ukraine with the aim of disrupting the mobilization. For this, so-called journalists, so-called public figures were brought in, who today are the same threat as the enemy at the front. And we will fight them just as effectively.
The SBU has already found nests where anti-Ukrainian activity was generated. And today 19 active critics of mobilization have already been taken into account. On my instructions, the SBU will continue this work in the future. There will be no compromise on this matter. And this anti-state activity has nothing to do with democracy or freedom of speech. “I am very grateful to the Ukrainian people, who are very supportive of the decisive actions taken by the authorities,” Poroshenko said.
