KIEV: Ukraine’s Prime Minister Vladimir Groysman has ordered to tighten control over the law banning re-broadcasting of some Russian television programs in places of mass gatherings, the country’s National Television and Radio Broadcasting Council said on Wednesday.
“Ukraine’s Prime Minister Vladimir Groysman, with the aim to toughen measures against information threats, has issued an instruction to Ukraine’s Interior Ministry, the head of Ukraine’s National Television and Radio Broadcasting Council, the Information Policy minister and heads of regional governments and the Kiev city government to take steps needed to inspect places of mass gatherings and recreation (hotels, recreation centers, entertaining facilities, etc.) in the context of cancelation of re-broadcasting of the Russian TV programs restricted within Ukraine,” the council said, reminding that 76 Russian TV channels were banned in Ukraine. In 2014 and 2015, analogous work was done to control implementation of the law.
