Chairman of the National Council on Television and Radio Broadcasting Yuriy Artemenko has announced his decision to resign.

"My term of office as a member of the National Council ends in July. However, today, two months before its completion, I decided to resign," Artemenko said in a statement published on the website of the National Council on Saturday.

According to him, there are two reasons for this decision.

"The first reason is simple human fatigue - to work daily in constant stress for 10-12 hours during five years, sometimes even seven days a week. Secondly, the proposal, which came at that time to take another job," said he.
