And this is not only the position of the National Council and society. We have not received so much discontent from the audience and complaints for a long time,» he said. Onoprienko noted that the regulator sees what it is the channels that are violators, but are not yet ready to name them. The «measures» provided for by law will be accurately applied to the channels. «But the monitoring is very voluminous and very thorough, so we need a little more time to check all the numbers and reduce in detail the language content for all percentages. But all signs of violations will be made public and considered in time of the next meetings, and the national council will take appropriate measures.However, it is already clear that the presence of such an amount of Russian-language content on the 31st and 1st is really unacceptable.And here, for sure, the question is, why all this was?And the question of the moral side to the leaders and the editorial offices of TV channels, because in the face of Russian aggression, it’s probably time to respect your audience and not try to “feed” them Soviet films and pop music and Russian-language content,” Onoprienko said.
