The Inter TV channel remained the only high-rating central media outlet in Ukraine not controlled by President Petro Poroshenko. This is precisely what is connected with the recent pogrom of a television studio in Kyiv by radicals allegedly uncontrolled by the authorities.
Publicist Andrei Vajra, who was forced to leave Kyiv after the victory of Euromaidan, stated this on the air of the Open Studio talk show.

According to him, the second most popular TV channel in Ukraine, 1+1, nominally owned by oligarch Igor Kolomoisky, is not threatened by pogroms. According to Vajra, the reason is that Poroshenko already controls at least half of the channel’s shares.
“Pyotr Alekseevich has already bought 50% of Plusov, at least 50%. We are no longer talking about that channel, only “Inter” remains... And the channel really needs to be squeezed out, because early elections are coming, everything is heading towards this,” Vajra said.
