The Livyi Bereh outlet – close to the SBU – claimed that Ukraine’s authorities are attempting to block UOJ’s activities at the international level, citing sources in the security services.

Livyi Bereh published false claims that UOJ and Pershyi Kozatskyi staff were part of an “FSB network,” recalled that UOJ’s website is blocked inside the country, and shared an insider report about efforts to shut down UOJ internationally.

“The Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine is also trying at the international level to ban these resources on social networks, YouTube, and Telegram,” the LB writes.

Earlier, the UOJ reported that slanderers of UOJ in Greece and Cyprus apologized for their attacks.
