According to him, to date, more than five thousand public institutions have been checked regarding their compliance with the ban on broadcasting Russian TV channels.
“Most public institutions turn off the retransmission of channels of the Russian Federation immediately or throughout the day,” the head of the National Council emphasized.
He also added that as a result of joint raids, criminal cases were opened against service providers in some localities of Donetsk, Zaporozhye and Dnepropetrovsk regions.
In addition, journalists were shown a video that the National Council plans to air in the near future.
“The National Council on Television and Radio Broadcasting warns the heads of television and radio organizations, program service providers, managers of public institutions, hotels, recreation centers, entertainment venues, and so on,” reads the voice-over text in the video. “In accordance with Article 300 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, the distribution of banned and other television channels that promote the cult of violence and cruelty is a crime and carries criminal liability for leaders in the form of restriction of freedom for up to three years.”
At the same time, the voice-over text is periodically interrupted by inserts and quotes from Russian programs that talk about ultranationalist radical forces on the Maidan or the bombing of civilian targets by Ukrainian military aircraft.
The National Council spoke about their next steps after the ban on retransmission of 15 Russian channels in Ukraine.
“This week we contacted the State Committee for Television and Radio to stop publishing programs of prohibited channels in print media,” Yuri Artemenko shared the plans of the National Council. “We are waiting for an answer.”
