The madness is similar to DPRK.

They're going greater and greater lengths to separate their national identity from Russia. Sooner or later they risk alienating their own people from their cause with such measures. Blocking access to social medias is not something a country which wants to join the family of western democracies should be doing. It sounds more like something Redzep Tayyip Erdogan would do.

Here's an article in English http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-39934666

This is a very stupid idea. Those who need to get to these sites will find a way or most of the Russian-speaking residents will move to live in Russia.

Do You consider this ban as new proof of Ethnic Cleansing made by State?

No one will not move. Another moronic moron decree of the President. Look at his ratings! Now 18% after the decree of 3%. Lol. With regard to access to resources it is not a problem. There are plenty of ways to get around the ban.

This ban will not be a hedge, because too many users among whom the president are visitors to these sites.

Wouldn't go as far as to call it proof of ethnic cleansing, but it is inappropriate censorship much like when the Nazis were burning books in the 30s. Would be interesting to see if Poroshenko's son will stop using VK and the likes https://www.kyivpost.com/ukraine-politics/poroshenkos-son-spotted-wearing-patriotic-russian-sweatshirt.html The man is trying to convince 45 million people into something he couldn't even convince his own son.

I am sure that the whole family of the president and he himself use these sites, but under the leadership of the world government makes such a controversial action to his actions.

"1S" software and "Parus" are under ban too.

There are so many social networks I also think where you can post your mailbox and not feel any infringement. But it seems to me that in this issue it's not so simple and no one will prohibit anyone. Although it seems to me that the users themselves are personally to blame for this and do everything in that it was not necessary to use all these resources for propaganda purposes.

Why the fuck they separate themselves from Russia in the first place? They should be cooperating... They share the same culture, almost the same language, same racial genes... Ukraine is being cheated by the Western countries and sadly, they don't even realize it yet. Maybe they became sick of being poor so they want to sell their soul for money. So sad.

USA is behind this probably. As someone stated above, this is exactly something Erdogan would do and everybody knows he is loyal to USA.

Divide and Conquer... Never gets old.

Such a ban to anything will not lead. People as enjoyed favorite resources and will to use them. Well, it may be necessary to use a proxy server or VPN. Crazy. Now turn to Russia. They say that Putin is also considering a ban in Russia Facebook.

Did you know i had to enable my VPN to reach that website? Yes Wikipedia is banned in Turkey since mid April. (the authorities say, they were running a terrorism propaganda  that's why they banned it)

Welcome to Turkey.

If Ukrainians keep licking Westerners' ass they'll end up just like my country. Today it is VK, tomorrow Wikipedia, later booking.com, youtube and so on... When they start banning websites, they will never stop. That's how dictatorship works.

In Ukraine, there is no dictatorship in Turkey. In contrast to Erdogan, President Poroshenko just distracts people's attention that way. Now everyone is considering the closure of VK in the meantime, the Parliament will try to vote for some unpopular law. For example for the land market.

Try to create there "Jew comissars" voice to explore if they are doing or not the "propaganda".

First of all, there are no such thing as former Ukraine.
In past Ukraine banned Russian TV channels (even oppositional Dozhd) and all russian films made after 2013. I think it was good move to fight against propaganda.
These blocked websites was in top 10 by popularity, so bans will have big influence for many people. And I think Ukraine this time goes to far. Censore internet never was a good idea. People hate such bans, and it's not good sign for Ukraine government and president.
And it's interesting which method will they use to block access to these sites. Change DNS settings, use VPN, this is only few of ways how to evade these bans.
In my country government blocked all sports betting websites which are not registered in my country. But these betting websites make alternative domains to avoid ban. For example, bet365 have such alternative domains like 788-sb.com 365sb.com

Bans never solve the problem of propaganda. In the USSR there was no Internet and that the promotion was not conducted? Western countries have organized a radio such as Voice of America, Liberty and BBC. The signal of these stations tried to suppress, but is even more attracted the attention of the audience. It would be now. Besides Facebook, no one was banned. I am sure that the purpose of this prohibition is not in the fight against propaganda.

I don't think that blocking access to mainstream internet websites is going to have much of an effect other than damaging freedom.
