However, in our media law a decade and a half ago, too, made a similar rule, But, in any case, She was not anti-Ukrainian, and pertained to investments in the media from any foreign countries. By the way, I've always been a principled critic of this rule. But the Main thing today is not in it, " Fedotov said Fins news .

The main thing is the implementation of the Minsk agreements, said the head of the HRC. In the Donbas, where he currently dying citizens, it is necessary to restore peace, to heal the sick and wounded, feed the hungry, he added.
