platforms all over the world.
“Now we

channel. It gives the opportunity to read news about Ukraine from first-hand
sources in five languages: Ukrainian, Russia, English, Crimean Tatar and
Arabic.” The Minister added that, with the launch of the UA|TV channel together

Ukraine broadcasts in nine languages, which enables engaging readers from
different countries.

the site is serviced by dedicated groups of people, and each language version
of the site is designed to meet the interests of its audience. Each language
version is edited by native speakers.” She added that it was important that not
