NSDC Secretary Aleksey Danilov, commenting on the disconnection of the opposition TV channel “Pershy Nezalezhny” from the broadcasting network, said on the air of the “Freedom of Speech” Savik Shuster programme that he did not know the reason, but suggested that it could be God's punishment.

“What happened to that TV channel? Why did it stop broadcasting? Maybe some technical error ... we don't know. You need to figure it out. Or maybe it is God's punishment?” said the NSDC secretary.

According to a report on the "Pershy Nezalezhny" TM channel, telecommunications and cable providers, as well as satellite operators, received an instruction from the SBU not to provide any services to the TV channel, despite the existing contracts and agreements.

Earlier, the secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Alexey Danilov called the cross processions of the UOC anti-Ukrainian activity and warned the organizers of peace forums about criminal liability.

As reported, the National Council fined the “112 Ukraine” TV channel, which was the platform for the “People” international media project, for inciting religious enmity and hatred. The channel was subsequently banned by Vladimir Zelensky.
