Roskomnadzor tells Russian media not to publish interview with Zelensky

Roskomnadzor (now RoskomnadZor) demanded that Russian media «refrain from publishing» an interview with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky. Also, the agency's Telegram channel says «an enquiry has been launched for determining the extent of responsibility and taking response measures» in relation to the journalists who took the interview.

On March 27, Dozhd's editor-in-chief Tikhon Dziadko, Meduza's editor-in-chief Ivan Kolpakov, Kommersant's special correspondent Vladimir Solovyov and writer Mikhail Zygar, together with Novaya Gazeta's editor-in-chief Dmitry Muratov, interviewed Zelensky. The full recording of the interview has already been published on Zelensky's Telegram channel and will later appear on Dzyadko's own and the Kotrikadze/Dzyadko YouTube channels, on Meduza's websites and social media accounts, on the OstWest TV channel, in Novaya Gazeta, and on other platforms.
