Ukraine war: Russia bans Zelenskyj interview

+++ 10:00 p.m .:

In the interview with Volodymyr Selenskyj, which was banned by Russia, the Ukrainian President accused the Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin of delaying the peace negotiations.

In the video conversation, which lasted around an hour and a half, Selenskyj once again called for the withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine.

Only then can there be security guarantees for Ukraine, which in turn are the basis for the NATO renunciation of Ukraine demanded by Moscow, according to the Ukrainian head of state.

Ultimately, only Ukrainian citizens could decide on a possible neutral status for Ukraine in a referendum.

The editor-in-chief of the radio station Echo Moskwy, which has also already been closed, Alexei Venediktov, criticized on Telegram that the Russian media regulator did not even give reasons for its actions.

Selenskyj is after all the legitimate president of Ukraine - the Kremlin has always confirmed this, wrote Venediktov.

+++ 9 p.m .:

According to CNN and the BBC, Moscow’s media supervisory authority Roskomnadzor warned Russian news channels on Sunday (March 27, 2022) against broadcasting an interview between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and several Russian journalists.

The video interview, posted on Zelenskyy's Telegram channel, included questions from some of Russia's remaining independent journalists, according to CNN.

According to the broadcaster, these included Mikhail Zygar and Tikhon Dzyadko, journalists from the recently closed TV channel Dozhd.

"Russia needs to know the truth," said Zelenskyy.

"Russian journalists from the Zygar YouTube channel, TV Rain, the Meduza portal, and the publications Kommersant and Novaya Gazeta received answers to all questions." Agents” have been classified.

"The media that conducted the interviews will be scrutinized to determine the extent of responsibility and the appropriate response." Russia recently passed a new law further restricting press freedom.

Ukraine War: Port city of Odessa prepares for new attacks from Russia

+++ 18:24:

While Ukraine was able to recapture some villages in Kharkiv, a city in the east of the country, the port city of Odessa is preparing for further attacks from Russia, as the Tagesschau reports.

The city is located on the Black Sea and is therefore strategically important for Russia.

Cities near Odessa have already been taken.

Meanwhile, Turkey* temporarily suspended shipping on the Bosphorus Strait after discovering a floating sea mine, as reported by the dpa.

The drifting sea mine is now "deactivated".

Traffic on the strait that connects the Black Sea and the Mediterranean resumed on Saturday after around four hours.

Turkey is therefore in contact with the Ukrainian and Russian sides.

His statement cannot be independently verified.

There are no casualty figures from Chernihiv yet.

+++ 11.15 a.m .:
