Ukrainska Pravda journalist Sofiia Sereda recorded an interview with Ukraine’s fifth president, Petro Poroshenko, for her signature program Sereda Evening. The interview was published on Ukrainska Pravda’s YouTube channel.

Comments under the video include sexist remarks directed at the host, such as:

●   “This Sereda is so annoying! She tries to do hard-hitting interviews, but interrupting guests and making inappropriate “smiles” isn’t real hard talk. And those whistling sounds she makes—come on! Change the microphone and fix it in editing. It’s impossible to listen!”

●   “The host was nervously shaking her leg—clearly trying to provoke Poroshenko.”

●   “She is extremely biased, too much…watch her body language.”

●   “These hosts only have sentiment for money, they don’t care about anything else”

Comments regarding the media outlet:

●   “Absolutely corrupt resource” (original in Russian)

●   “Poroshenko’s Truth”

●   “Ze-journalism”

●   “Ukrainska Pravda has been under Yermak’s control for a long time now”

●   And so on
