President L. Kuchma's "State of the Nation", May 1998
"Speaking about such an important instrument of formation of public opinion as mass media, the President stressed that Ukraine needs a free and impartial press, but not tomahawks."
President Leonid Kuchma, Ukraine
Named one of "ten worst enemies of the press in 1999" by the Committee to Protect Journalists.
" Using tax and libel laws as instruments of his hostility to journalists, Kuchma runs roughshod over any expression of opposition. His tacit acceptance of violence against the press has encouraged bombings of newspaper offices, assaults on reporters and editors, and a general climate of fear and self-censorship. His tax policies force print and broadcast outlets without foreign support to seek financial aid from businesses and politicians who then extort favorable publicity. "
