There is no Ukrainian television n the villages located within 50-70 kilometers from the state border, said head of the State Service for Special Communications and Information Protection Yuriy Schyhol.
“Since the beginning of this year, we have received appeals from all the governors of the border territories, and these are Volyn, Rivne, Chernyhiv and Zhytomyr, about the fact that in the villages that are within 50-70 kilometers from the border, there is no Ukrainian television in principle. They live in the realities of Belarus or the Russian Federation and find out about any news in Ukraine in two-three weeks. And mainly through the distorted vision shown by Russian TV channels,” he said at a briefing in Kyiv on Saturday.
According to Schyhol, reporting by the Ukrainian-language broadcasting of public television channels is the main task of the state during the period of military aggression.
“That is why we are implementing a project to build a new multiplex, because it is one of the issues of national security,” the head of the State Service for Special Communications said.
