Zelensky responds to "frightened" Kremlin censoring his interview with Russian journalists
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the Kremlin censored his interview with Russian journalists Sunday because it's "frightened" of the truth about the invasion of Ukraine being reported in Russia.
Driving the news: Hours after Zelensky posted the 90-minute interview in which he spoke Russian to his Telegram channel, Russia's government issued a statement warning Russian news outlets "about the necessity of refraining from publishing" Zelensky's 90-minute interview with the journalists, per state media.
While journalists based outside Russia published the interview, those still inside the country did not, the New York Times notes.
Why it matters: The Kremlin's actions underscore Zelensky's efforts to bypass Russian President Vladimir Putin's strict censorship of news about his forces' invasion of Ukraine.
