Olga Gerasimyuk, the head of the National Council, said this in a comment to Ukrinform. "They will no longer make us on their Google translation in the Ukrainian language. They have learned to communicate with good specific vocabulary. It is difficult for people to be highlighted among actually pro-Ukrainian channels. This is a separate topic we are fighting with the Ministry of Digital Transformation and others" , - she said.

The official noted that media, blocked for pro -Russian activities, is actively working in the messenger. "They bloomed with a lush color there, on Telegram. Telegram is a really difficult topic that we work on in the National Council every day. Now this phenomenon has spread so much that the more it will work with it. And the enemy works with it very successfully with it. ", - said Gerasimyuk.
