3 Russian Channels are Banned from Ukraine

National Council of TV and Radio Broadcasting announced that all foreign channels must adapt to comply with the Ukraine law and if failed to do so would be banned. However, how to adapt was never explained to the Russian channels causing them to violate ethical norms, copyright, and advertising law set by the NCTRB. Some see this move as political being that Moscow and Keiv have not fair well recently. “It’s a matter of serious concern for us. Ukraine is a multinational state and those Russian-speaking citizens have the right to use their language and to watch Russian TV channels,” said Grigory Karasin, Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister. It was esitmated that the Russian channels take in roughly 15 million viewers, and though the Ukraine cable co. is losing profits they feel that it is the Russian speaking citizens who suffer the worst.
