“Owing to support of volunteers from Simferopol, Donetsk, Sevastopol and Kyiv we created advertising themes to place them on outdoor advertising boards including Kyiv underground, as well as video and audio clips to broadcast them on television and radio. Information forces of Ukraine shortly before May 18 are organizing a Twitter storm”, Deputy Minister of Information Policy of Ukraine Artem Bidenko told.
