“After the Russian troops blew up the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant, we all feel anger and rage, which we can and should transform into active steps,” said activist Alex in a video.

The movement calls for burning their flags, symbols, newspapers, and products on June 12, Russia Day: “It is necessary to show a mass protest.”

The Yellow Ribbon activist also addressed the Russian troops in the Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine.

“The Ukrainian people's genocide, repression, ecocide, for which you will majestically face justice in court, will not intimidate us. Because we will be free, and you will be in The Hague!” the activist emphasized.

National Council revokes licenses of pro-Russian TV channels of Medvedchuk, Shufrich and Muraiev

The National Council on Television and Radio Broadcasting revoked the licenses of Nash, Maxi TV, 112, NewsOne, ZIK, and UkrLive channels.

The regulator made the decision at a meeting on June 8, Detector Media reports.

All of these channels and their legal entities (New Communications TV and Radio Company, 112 TV and Radio Company, News 24 Hours, Time Media, Teleradioprostir, NASH 365, and Nasha Praha) are on the sanctions lists.

According to Oleh Chernysh, deputy chairman of the National Council, Article 50 (9) of the Media Law gives the regulator the power to revoke or suspend licenses of companies that are under sanctions.

“There are systematic violations, so the draft decision proposes revocation of licenses rather than suspension,” he said.
