The National Council on Television and Radio Broadcasting (National Council) on Thursday added 16 more services to the list of audiovisual media services of the aggressor state banned from broadcasting in Ukraine and increased it to 22 positions, the press service of the National Council reported on Thursday.

The reasons for the introduction of relevant media resources into the services of the aggressor state were the inconsistency of the ownership structure of these entities and/or their full or preferential orientation to the territory and audience of the aggressor state.

The National Council promises to inform the National Council on Electronic Telecommunicationa, digital distribution platforms for mobile applications, manufacturers of television receivers and terminal equipment, the NBU, as well as international payment systems for their response measures regarding the relevant media resources.

As previously reported, Russian OTT services Ivi, Tvigle, Premier, Start, More.tv and Okko were included in the list of services of the aggressor state.
