Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Arsen Avakov said that propaganda activities in Ukraine were financed, among other things, from the "black cash" of the military situation in Donbas.
On the air of the Freedom of Speech program on ICTV on Friday evening, Avakov drew attention to the aggravation of the situation in recent days in eastern Ukraine. Answering the question whether the imposition of sanctions is connected with this aggravation, the minister said: "For me, this is all connected [...] Why do I say 'aggravation'? The truce had been held for a very long time [...] And what is happening in recent days? Four soldiers were killed by snipers. "
