military correspondent i saw a lot i saw a lot in donbas i myself was born in luhansk and i worked in the east of ukraine and i was on the front line well, of course, this is the work of a journalist, actually a military corpsman, i was in avdiyivka marinka bakhmuti shepherd happiness stanytsia luhanska well, where did you stand the ukrainian army since march, a journalist covers russia's war against ukraine, mykolaiv oblast, kharkiv oblast, donbass . everything is flying above us, everything is flying and it falls there and near us and flies past and it is hard to imagine

well, you just have to feel it yourself, they are shooting from everything in a constant mass. the proof is the proof of the crimes committed by the russian army against the ukrainian people after the liberation of irpen from the occupiers, corporal espresso visited the city for the first time. where he lived with his family, this is such an alley , and here there were a lot of shops, construction markets, a coffee shop, you can see that because of the shelling, everything is broken and there is no sign. this tape is a warning. by the way, it is very good that it was made here as a warning that something might fall from above, like snow on the head, and the news that the espresso tv channel was disconnected from the

digital network recalls vitaly, a journalist who fought heroically on the information front all this time. runs the risk of losing his job on the air on that day and on that day and i was told that the espresso tv channels were removed from t2, well, it was very unpleasant, it is a means of mass information, first of all, i emphasize mass information because the task of the mass media is spread information to the maximum audience , i.e. it is fundamentally important for us, the morning of the fourth of april, the 40th day of the war, the technical service of espresso receives hundreds of messages from viewers. all of them are about the fact that the digital channel is no longer available on the t2 network, which covers almost half

of the audience, now the tv channel rada is broadcast says the director of espresso, kateryna yermolovich , on the fourth of april, my colleagues and my friend did not see ourselves on the digital air and considering that the tv channel was born as you know during the event on the maidan, we formed a sufficiently powerful team of professional journalists who joined the information war from the first days, and despite the fact that our journalists were occupied by russian troops, some of them were in hot spots and were even suspected of being under fire, we continued our professional work together with espresso from of the digital airwaves, the live channel and fifth channel are still angry. who and what stopped broadcasting? answers to these questions. for almost two months now, journalists, the media community, and human rights defenders have been looking for it. it is known when russia attacked ukraine, some ukrainian channels immediately started working in the information

marathon mode. on february 24, the regulator, the national council for television and radio broadcasting, allowed them to withdraw from their programming concepts. the very next day, the ministry of culture and information policy announced the launch of a joint marathon with the participation of 1+1 stb ictv intera and the council were later joined by the media group ukraine and social marathon, the only news began to be broadcast by almost all ukrainian tv channels and espresso is not an exception - says editor-in-chief anastasia rava. as for the eat news marathon , we broadcast it from the first day of its creation for up to 12 hours a day. that is, half of 50% of our daily broadcast. on march 18, the national security and defense council decided to implement a single information policy in

the conditions of martial law, the document was immediately signed by president volodymyr zelenskyi, however, about how to ensure such an information policy and whether any channels should be turned off for this purpose. the state, the nsdc, and the national council did not explain as a result the concern of radio broadcasting, radio communication and television simply turned off espresso from the digital air and deprived almost half of the viewers . the co-founder of the ukrainian helsinki group, human rights defender myroslav marinovych is convinced that the tv channel did not violate broadcasting standards during the war, human rights protection allows e-e m restrictions on freedom of speech in general and civil liberties in times of war in those cases well, first of all, if some

media begin to promote the position of the enemy parties, but none of these three tv channels belong to such media that conduct enemy propaganda. the second case when restrictions are possible is if the tv channels provide information that is threatening to national security . and so on, the level of armaments and that, too, there is no way in which the tv channel's activities could harm the security of ukraine, espresso journalists inquired with all the authorized bodies of the national council of the national security council of the national security and defense council of the state special communications group and many

we only received an answer from the security service of ukraine based on the results of the examination of your letter. we inform you that there is no information on the issues raised. meanwhile, the media community came to the support of the tv channels. we understand that there is a political component to this . which, in my opinion, is wrong because we know that before the war, the tv channel took a strict oppositional position. but after the start of the war, the tv channel declared that politicians leave the struggle until after the war and now take a balanced position, so why not include them on the air, it’s wrong. espresso journalists found the management

of the rrt concern, which is responsible for the operation of tv towers throughout the country, and it did not happen in kyiv, where in the conditions war, the main management decisions are made and not where the tv towers were most affected by the russian shelling, the acting general director of the concern serhii samarei was found in kovel, volyn region, in a few dozens of kilometers from the border with poland, there was an order from the cannery to do this, i will immediately answer that this is closed information, what exactly is the order , i will not divulge, the center is subordinate to the state intelligence agency, and in turn, this body management is a military command , therefore the information is closed in other words, which we

received and from whom we will not tell, this is very similar to the banal application of telephone law, one of the most shameful management traditions of yanukovych's time, claims lawyer yuriy kraynyak about some features related to the military veteran are simply talking about banal turning off the television channel from the digital airwaves without any explanation from the decision to block espresso broadcasts on the t2 digital network immediately disowned in the office of the president of the national council for television and radio broadcasting and state special communications, who stated that simply followed the instructions of the national security and defense council, everything points to the fact that you can't find the extreme, you don't have it, and there are no clear explanations from official bodies of any kind well, what we see is just unsubscribes and the transfer of responsibility from one person to another, and

they cannot and cannot provide clear explanations. well , because it happened. it's just, well, such manual control. yes, without any legal basis. instead, the secretary of the national security council oleksiy danilov in an interview with a new time stated that the disconnection of espresso from the air is related to security issues, the war began , the concept of unified broadcasting appeared, the channels were offered to unite, everyone was exclusively invited to this platform to participate, everyone was given the opportunity to do this, if someone did not want to participate in that platform, then he should understand we are now in a state of war it is not about censorship it is about security and these words are frank manipulation insists the editor-in-chief of espresso anastasia rava, have we ever been offered to join this marathon no, we have not been offered or are we ready we i think that my colleagues support me,

we are ready to join and become part of the marathon of one single news but on parity on equal terms with all the other participants espresso should be returned to the air also because the fight against the aggressor is now also being carried out on the information front, the professional and patriotic work of the journalists of the tv channel will only bring our victory closer, say human rights activists, if in russia the government wants to hear only one voice, and it has achieved this, it has imposed an absolute monopoly on society, which is not undermined by anything, it is completely total the government's monopoly on the media space and for me the fact that there is a plurality of voices in ukraine, which actually

boils down to the unison of a patriotic position. we prove that we are not russia, the unfair, illegal and unconstitutional decision to turn off the tv channel outraged not only the ukrainian media and the human rights community, their appeals with the demand to return the channel to the air were sent to the ukrainian authorities by scientists, cultural figures and even members of the polish diet. in the end, the authorities had to react on may 11, the parliamentary committee on issues of humanitarian and information policy held a meeting at which they were supposed to establish who made the official decision to turn off the digital broadcast of espresso direct and the fifth channel on the territory of the occupied territories, russia, as a terrorist state, increases the presence of its information channels, while in ukraine, the

ukrainian patriotic tv channel, which was born on the maidan, is actually turned off the air, and the silent consent of all state authorities to this situation is simply not included in some er adequate understanding of the situation and er within the framework of the information war and to identify the person responsible was not simply adopted the decision of the national security and defense council on march 18, 2022 regarding the implementation of a unified information policy in the conditions of martial law, that is, on these channels, on these three channels, the broadcast of the channel is carried out by the council, which conducts the unified information reform, somewhere on the nerve, it is said about the switching of telecrediting, the nsdc shows that

an information policy is necessary. on the instructions of the rrort concern to switch the channel, this is the question, friends. i proved that the administration of the state communications did not give direct instructions, as you say, to the officials one after another renounced the illegal decision and transferred the responsibility for turning it off to other colleagues about excommunication, e.e., there were no relevant documents for themselves, or they kept silent or threw up their hands, it is also not necessary to know about the existence of this decision or written formalized ones. i personally do not know. kyrylo danilov refused to answer directly at all. questions of people's deputies , since this is allegedly information with closed or

limited access, they switched the channel on their own, this is your decision without any instructions and no reasons that is, it is a purely technical enterprise and implements the decision of the nsdc, which was mentioned earlier, and the decision of the rna ptr, there are no instructions of the concert, the concern was not mentioned by you, the national council is mentioned, so we will melt you as a topic of public discussion and now there will be questions for you who made the decision about once again i say this there is no question of public discussion of what, that is, we now have a committee, you are obliged to answer to the people's deputies, meanwhile, in the very apparatus of the national security and defense council, they claim that there are no instructions regarding turning off the tv channels did not give documents, part of

it, in accordance with the law, it will be referred to the closed decree of the president, its number is indicated well, the number or the closed decree of the president for these dates, which would at least somehow remotely talk about the fact that the location of the president was given by some such orders, not the closed part before that e-e decree does not exist, it was not so, does the decision of the national security council contain a decision to turn off or switch the channel of the national security council, it is already publicly open, as they say apparently, none of the structures that made the decision to shut down tv channels simply does not exist, instead, information broadcasting within the framework of the telethon, the only news is carried mostly by entertainment tv channels from oligarchic media groups

, while the only structure that took responsibility, the rrt concern, could not refer to any of the official documents, journalist espresso vitaliy portnikov does not hide his indignation, or we should determine with you what was certain official arbitrariness and we should clearly recognize who is the author of this official arbitrariness and obviously ensure the conditions for a person who, contrary to the law, made such a decision, i do not even mean the signs of a concern. to blame the named media, the community hopes for the quick return of tv channels to the air, as well as the fact that the events surrounding the disconnection of espresso are not a cleaning of the media market to please the oligarchs or a political massacre by only in the hands of the rashiv invaders. as far as we

knew about it, there were talks about compensating tv channels from the budget for their participation in the telethon, but we don't know if this issue took place in that definitely if and when the martial law ends so that the authorities do not have "there was such a desire to leave this control over the media space and so on, so here we are already very, very alert about this ." pre-war life, a sparkle appears in his eyes when he talks about his little daughter, whom he has not seen for several months, they first went to poland to visit a friend, now they are in vilnius and everything is fine, they

are helped a lot in europe, they help a lot and the little one has already gone to kindergarten, and vitaly hopes keep his job by an unfortunate coincidence together with his war reports from the espresso airwaves and partner programs from those countries that provide ukraine with the greatest support for voice of america radio liberty bbc and franz 24 in us everyone has a common enemy, russia, and i think it is necessary to stop trying to put pressure on tv channels, and if well, i understand that this is politics and if this is a political decision , then we must find the strength and cancel it because we are working on the same

front on information and we must be a strong fist for the counterattack of russian propaganda , a job for vitaly is also an opportunity to support his family, pay the mortgage and repair his apartment damaged by roaches in irpen. it hit right through, it broke and tore the curtain, then it flew through the bedroom, this bedroom flew into this plaster wall and flew out of here and tore out a piece of

the ceiling, this is the children's room, the children's room , i can't imagine what would have happened if we hadn't gone to beat the power supply in vitaly's house, they have already restored it, fixed it and the journalist brews a strong espresso and shares a cherished dream that he wants to see come true on the day when ukraine will declare victory over the russian invaders , to be in the studio on that day and personally say it in the espresso tv channel is on the air and i hope that such an opportunity will happen. ukraine in the war with russia defends its independence and democracy. freedom of speech is its fundamental value. it is unacceptable that in ukraine, as in russia, there should be censorship and

restrictions on free media. return the espresso tv channel to the air . thank you to the world for that who share our pain. now we have to turn to one more country, this is france. good evening to see you all. i know that
