The Suspilne Kherson team lost access to their Telegram channel on 20 December and has been unable to restore it, the public broadcaster’s Kherson branch chief editor Tetyana Yaremenko told Institute of Mass Information journalist Valentyna Troyan.
She says that the media outlet’s digital team worked their shift as usual until 14:00 on 20 December.
“Then we noticed that we could no longer make posts in Telegram and the channel started posting content that was not ours,” said Tetyana Yaremenko.
She added that Suspilne had contacted the cyber police.
“In the meantime, we are working on other platforms: WhatsApp, Viber, Facebook, Instagram. You can also read full news stories about what is happening in Kherson city and Kherson oblast on our website,” said Tetyana Yaremenko.
She added that the editorial team has no idea who could have accessed their Telegram channel.
It is worth noting that during the period when the team was unable to access their Telegram channel, the channel mostly made post about battlefield developments and the energy sector situation.
Earlier, in September 2025, Vadym Khomenko, chief engineer at Suspilne Kherson, was injured in a Russian “petal mine” explosion in downtown Kherson.
