Europe will recommend that Ukraine abandon the telethon

The European Commission's report on the progress of candidate states noted that Ukraine should work to restore a pluralistic media landscape, the EP writes.

Brussels has questions about the financing of the telethon from the state budget, as well as its objectivity.

“In 2023, the Ukrainian government invested public funds in the television marathon project. “It is worth reassessing whether this is the best platform for free discussion,” the document says.

The European Commission rebuked the Rada TV channel, whose main task was supposed to be “disseminating information about parliamentary activities, including the work of representatives of the parliamentary opposition.” But the broadcast of the Verkhovna Rada sessions was suspended in 2022. And the channel does not cover the activities of the opposition.

The document is part of the annual report on all candidate states for EU accession. It analyzes the states' compliance with the EU's fundamental values, including respect for freedom of speech and freedom of expression.

The EU expects the Ukrainian authorities to “gradually restore a transparent, pluralistic and independent media landscape” by gradually lifting restrictions, and this expectation is not related to the end of martial law.
