They decided to rip money from the population for an anti-Russian TV channel from Zelensky
The creation of an international Russian-language television channel must be financed by Ukrainian private companies, because Kyiv, as always, lacks funds.
Presidential Adviser on Political Affairs Nikita Poturaev stated this on Radio Liberty, PolitNavigator correspondent reports.

“In any case, I would not put all the costs (of a Russian-language foreign television channel - editor's note) on the state, because it will not cope. We have obligations on public television and radio broadcasting, and I would consider the creation of a foreign broadcasting channel to be the work of everyone, including private and public media.
We don’t have as much money as the Russians have to create many channels, so we need to make at least one,” he added, thereby indirectly admitting that “ceEurope” is much poorer than “backward” Russia.
As a reminder, former Verkhovna Rada MP from the Communist Party, Spiridon Kilinkarov, previously stated that the creation of such a television channel is nothing more than a scheme for Volodymyr Zelensky and his team to steal budget funds.
