After 16 in May, the President of Ukraine Poroshenko signed a decree according to which services of Yandex and Mail.Ru Group, as well as Odnoklassniki and VKontakte social networks are subject to blocking in the country, statements of Ukrainian officials in support of anti-Russian sanctions continue . Another statement justifying the blocking of Russian services was voiced by the head of the Information Security Service of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine (NSDC), Valentin Petrov, who said that the Russian army could use the services Yandex.Maps, Yandex.Probki, Yandex "Navigator" for planning an attack on Ukraine, reports
"Lenta.ru" message agency "Ukrinform".
Yandex services, for example, Traffic, Maps, Navigator, are the same online information about the condition of roads, traffic capacity and traffic on all roads in Ukraine. If you need to plan any attack, breakthrough, or any other actions, then you will not think of a better situation. No agents, scouts, even satellites not needed
- said Petrov.
He expressed the opinion that sanctions against Russian companies should have been introduced much earlier.
Ukrainian officials regularly attribute aggressive intentions to the leadership of Russia. In Moscow, Kiev denied the charges. In particular, in February, the deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on Information Policy, Information Technologies and Communications, Andrei Svintsov, suggested sending all the Kiev attacks on Russia “into spam”.
And at the end, you can add one phrase attributed to the mayor of Kiev, Mr. Klitschko, and fully describing the situation with the Russian services: - There is no Yandex - there are no traffic jams!
