Under temporary occupation, 14 regional and 53 local TV companies, 18 regional and 47 local radio stations, as well as 46 providers stopped broadcasting. According to Maksim Onoprienko, a member of the National Council on Television and Radio Broadcasting, 15% of all broadcasters in the country do not function.. For a modest figure, it is important not to lose the essence. For most of the occupied territories, Ukrainian TV and radio channels are available only on the Internet, if they are not blocked there or users can bypass the occupier's blocking. Alexander Klyuzhev, an analyst of the Opora Public Network, writes about this in an article..

According to him, the information policy of the aggressor in the occupied territories is still opposed by the state to attempts to muffle the signal of the aggressor and strengthen its own equipment, rely on satellite television, Internet channels of national media and the Action application..



“It is important to avoid repeating the experience of a slow solution to the problem in the front-line territories in 2014-2022, as a result of which many citizens of Ukraine daily consumed Russian poison. How this consumption ends, we already know well... Assistance to journalists from the TOT in moving to free territories and support for their new initiatives, programs to compensate the media for financial losses, restoration of the television and radio broadcasting infrastructure, countering Russian propaganda and investigating Russian crimes against the media are among the urgent tasks.
