Sobchak did not miss the chance to "fuck" over the ban on Russian social networks:
Thank you for everything you have done for our quilted jackets, for Alexander Zakharchenko, Zakhar Prilepin and Dmitry Kiselev. You can now add them as friends on VKontakte and Odnoklassniki. But bad luck - you banned both VKontakte and Odnoklassniki in your Ukraine.
Also, the scandalous presenter noted:
Historical experience shows that everyone who threw the war on social networks lost. Now, having deprived 25 million Ukrainians of the opportunity to communicate, you have lost 25 million votes. So far, technically, these networks have not been closed, and you can admire how you look there and how your country looks now. Only a political suicide can fight against social networks and memes. Because you are alone, and half of your people, who are famous for their rebelliousness and humor, are sitting in these social networks. The people who organized the Maidan, the volunteer battalions, through social networks, are tools of fascist propaganda that you have banned. The people who paid for the "Revolution of Dignity" with thousands of lives. And this dignity you merged into one decree cesspool.
Sobchak advised Poroshenko to think about the fact that he is "playing along" with Vladimir Putin, who calls the Internet a CIA project:
You say Odnoklassniki, VKontakte and Yandex are FSB offices. Well, yes, you sing along well with Vladimir Putin when he calls the Internet a CIA project. Ballistic missiles, if anything, were also invented by the Nazis. It doesn't matter who invented it, what matters is how to use it. Let me remind you that all investigations about Russian troops in Crimea, about who shot down the Malaysian Boeing, were made mainly on the basis of VKontakte publications.
At the end of the speech, Sobchak "bashed" the desire of the Ukrainian president to "fight" Russian artists:
The sacrifices made by your country, the patriotic upsurge that we here in Russia envied - you could turn into economic and political reforms, as Boris Yeltsin did in 1991. Instead, you have been at war with Russian artists for three years, and now with your own people. A worthy adversary, isn't it?
It is not the first year that federal talk shows in Russia begin with the fact that things are bad in Ukraine. Their topics began to dry up, and now you generously poured them a bunch of sweets from your Roshen company. Now those who in Russia want to ban Telegram and the Internet in general are giving advice to Ukrainians on how to get around your bans. The ratings of the most downloaded programs in Ukraine include TOR and VPN, which allow you to easily jump over your clumsy decree, which your lazy and corrupt officials will execute.
You have an incredible ability to create enemies for yourself from previously loyal citizens. With your decree, you rallied international human rights activists, the Azov battalion and Russians who sympathized with you, who in one day declared you an enemy of freedom of speech. And when you need to call some European leader, he will ask for a short information about you. And it will be written there - this is the one who did not let the Russian disabled singer to Eurovision and banned social networks. And Merkel or Macron will ask the secretary - tell him to call back later. Better never."
Ksenia Sobchak recorded a video message to the President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko because of his decree on blocking access to a number of Russian social networks and services, the Dozhd TV channel reports.
Sobchak was outraged by the decision of the head of the Ukrainian state and accused him of being at war with his own people for three years. The TV presenter notes that everyone who threw the war on social networks lost.
"Only a political suicide can fight against social networks and memes. Because you are alone, and half of your people, who are famous for their recalcitrance and humor, sit in these social networks. The people who organized the Maidan, volunteer battalions, through social networks, are tools of fascist propaganda that you banned. The people who paid for the "Revolution of Dignity" with thousands of lives. And you poured this dignity into the cesspool with one decree," she says.
The presenter recalled that the WhatsApp messenger was developed by a Ukrainian who sold it for an amount equal to half of the entire budget of Ukraine. Now he is in no hurry to return to his homeland.
"It's not the first year that federal talk shows in Russia begin with the fact that it's bad in Ukraine. Their topics began to dry up, and now you generously poured them a bunch of sweets from your Roshen company. Now those who in Russia want to ban "Telegrams and the Internet in general give advice to Ukrainians on how to get around your bans. The ratings of the most downloaded programs in Ukraine include TOR and VPN, which allow you to easily jump over your clumsy decree, which your lazy and corrupt officials will execute," Sobchak criticizes the Ukrainian president.
In conclusion, she noted Poroshenko's "incredible ability" to create enemies for himself from previously loyal citizens.
"By your decree, you rallied international human rights activists, the Azov Battalion and Russians who sympathized with you, who one day declared you an enemy of freedom of speech. And when you need to call some European leader, he will ask for a short reference about you. And it will be written - this is the one who did not let the Russian disabled singer to Eurovision and banned social networks. And Merkel or Macron will ask the secretary - tell him to call back later. Better never, "says the TV presenter.
Ksenia Sobchak commented on this decree of the Ukrainian president, which has already caused a wave of discontent and criticism.
Dear Petr Alekseevich Poroshenko!
Thank you for everything you have done for our quilted jackets, for Alexander Zakharchenko, Zakhar Prilepin and Dmitry Kiselev. You can now add them as friends on VKontakte and Odnoklassniki. But here's the problem - you banned both VKontakte and Odnoklassniki in your Ukraine.
Historical experience shows that everyone who threw the war on social networks lost. Now, having deprived 25 million Ukrainians of the opportunity to communicate, you have lost 25 million votes. So far, technically, these networks have not been closed, and you can admire how you look there and how your country looks now.

I know one Ukrainian invention in the field of Internet communications - Jan Kuma's WhatsApp. He sold his creation for $11 billion. But for some reason Yang is in no hurry to return to your country, whose budget is only twice that amount.
The sacrifices made by your country, the patriotic upsurge that we here in Russia envied - you could turn into economic and political reforms, as Boris Yeltsin did in 1991. Instead, you have been at war with Russian artists for three years, and now with your own people. A worthy adversary, isn't it?

What kind of law is this that does not even spell out punishment? Those who will bypass the blocking are not even threatened with an administrative article - then, explain why it is? Do you seriously believe that with a piece of paper with a coat of arms you can defeat the people who ousted Yanukovych and brought you to power? I'm afraid nothing will save your rating - neither the ban on Yandex, which is registered as a Dutch company, nor other extravagant decisions.
You have an incredible ability to create enemies for yourself from previously loyal citizens. With your decree, you rallied international human rights activists, the Azov Battalion and Russians who sympathized with you, who in one day declared you an enemy of freedom of speech.
