Ukrainians who complain about their government on social media should be jailed for treason, said former Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba.

„I am very calm when comments come, most of them are bots, but there are also real people who criticize me... But it really infuriates me when someone starts: „What has this country given me?“, „I don't owe anyone anything“, „Why should I love it?“.

When it's personal hate, you can live with it... Everyone has the right to express their stupidity on social media. But when this is thrown against a state, such people really need to be caught and imprisoned for treason," Kuleba said in an interview with Ukrainian journalist Natalia Moseychuk.

Kuleba's statements come against the backdrop of growing dissatisfaction among Ukrainians with the situation in the country.
