Ukraine banned broadcast: comment

Ukraine has blocked the transmission of civilian media channels that broadcast openly critical content until coordination with authorities that control the audience.

The current legislative initiative restricts media freedom and raises questions about the reasons for such restrictions, considering reports of similar control over Russian media in 2020.

Many viewers believe that state control over the media strengthens the premises for censorship and dictates the boundaries of public discussion. According to supporters of stricter rules, such measures are necessary to combat "information chaos" and "fraudulent" census activities, which raises doubts among independent journalists and public activists.
