The Ministry of Information of Belarus commented on Lithuania's blocking of YouTube channels of Belarusian state media.
The department called Vilnius’ decision another unfriendly step.
The Ministry of Information's comment was published on its Telegram channel.
The Ministry of Information called the blocking of 18 YouTube channels of Belarusian state media by Vilnius another instance of information censorship.
The Ministry of Information regards the decision of the Lithuanian authorities as yet another unfriendly step aimed at restricting Lithuanians’ access to alternative, reliable information.
The department noted that the Lithuanian authorities continue to slide towards restricting freedom of speech and harsh censorship.
Otherwise, it is difficult to explain what harm, for example, the children's program "Kalykhanka" could have caused to the national interests of Lithuania, the Ministry of Information added.
