In Kherson, on the morning of March 4, the occupants began broadcasting 24 russian TV channels and three radio channels via T2. This was reported by Suspilne Kherson.

“The UA: Kherson TV channel broadcasts the national telethon. Other regional channels do not work. The situation is similar in the districts of the region,” the statement reads.

Russian forces seized the Suspilne branch office in Kherson on March 3; the team now works remotely. Armed men were seen installing trap wires around the building. Having seized the TV studio and TV centre, the occupiers disabled the Ukrainian TV signal.

IMI has been chronicling Russia’s media crimes against Ukraine since the start of the full-scale invasion on February 24.
