The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine adopted a resolution to allocate 16.1 million hryvnias for the creation and maintenance of a special television and radio broadcasting system in several border regions of Ukraine. The purpose of this initiative is to block anti-Ukrainian propaganda that is similar to Russia.
The Ministry of Economy of Ukraine reported this. The order was confirmed at the meeting on June 18, 2024. Deputy Minister of Economy of Ukraine Vitaly Kindrativ noted that the government is actively developing special measures for television and radio broadcasting in border areas. The series of calls will ensure information security and counteract enemy propaganda in the airspace of Ukraine.
In this period, the region has already received 137.6 million hryvnias for nine regions for the development of such measures. Now an additional 16.1 million hryvnia will be used to support the television and radio broadcasting system in Donetsk, Mykolayiv, Kherson and Zaporizhzhya regions.
In total, 13.2 million hryvnias will come from the reserve fund of the state budget, and 2.9 million hryvnias will be saved on the first purchases of equipment for the first nine regions. Thus, a number of effective resources are available for information security.
The necessary equipment and installation will be installed by the Radio Communications Concern, radio communication and television tower. Installation and commissioning of the mining robots is planned to be completed by the end of 2024.
This order is partly confirmed by the decision for the sake of national security and defense of Ukraine on January 18, 2022 " Based on this decision, a series of requirements are required to ensure the stable functioning of digital broadcasting facilities and uninterrupted broadcast of television channels at multiplexes MX-1, -2, -3, -5.
The development of the television and radio broadcasting system in border areas is an important step in the fight against Russian propaganda and ensuring information security in Ukraine. This also reinforces the importance of government support and investment in modern technologies to protect national interests.
