It is broadcasted via three satellites: Amos 3, Azerspace 1, Galaxy 19, as well on its own YouTube channel.

The legal basis of the International broadcasting multimedia platform of Ukraine became the Law "On international broadcasting system of Ukraine" developed by MIP, which was signed by the President of Ukraine on 28 December 2015. According to the Law, IBMPU is registered as a state enterprise. 

It is to be recalled that in October last year, during a meeting of Minister of Information Policy of Ukraine with the Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of the Republic of Bulgaria to Ukraine Krasimir Minchev a joint decision regarding the broadcasting of the two states was discussed.
