Implementation of the Government Action Plan
According to the Government action plan for 2015, the Ministry of Information Policy developed
and implemented the following regulatory instruments:
• Resolution “Issue of ensuring sustainable functioning of state-owned objects of strategic
importance for economy and national security in telecommunications and communication
during special period” was supported by the Government of Ukraine and signed by the Prime
Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk on 25 May.
The main purpose of the Resolution is the creation of conditions to ensure uninterrupted power
supply to state-owned objects of strategic importance in the field of telecommunications and
communication.
Implementation of the Government Action Plan
• Draft Law “On foreign broadcasting system
of Ukraine” was unanimously supported by
the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine and the
Verkhovna Rada Committee on Freedom of
Speech and Information Policy.
• Doctrine of information security of Ukraine
and Concept of information security
of Ukraine were developed within the
framework of the Expert Council under the
Ministry of Information Policy of Ukraine.
• Simplification of accreditation and stay
of foreign journalists in Ukraine. The
Government supported the draft Law “On
Amendments to Article 5 of the Law of
Ukraine “On legal status of foreigners and
stateless persons” and the corresponding
Resolution of CMU.
International broadcasting multimedia platform of Ukraine
1 October, at 12:00 pm, the launch of the Multimedia foreign broadcasting platform of Ukraine
was held.
Yurii Stets: “We did it, the launch of the
Multimedia foreign broadcasting platform
of Ukraine was held. “UATV” channel was
introduced instead of satellite “UTR” TV channel.
The channel broadcasts from three satellites:
Amos 3, Azerspace 1, Galazy 19, as well as
on its own YouTube channel. The channel
provides information in Ukrainian, Russian and
English. Updated “Ukrinform” delivers news in
Ukrainian, English, Russian, Spanish, German
and Chinese. Now we will inform the world that Ukraine is not only about depressed regions,
corruption and poverty, but also a European country that seeks to reforms”.
New draft law “On international broadcasting system of Ukraine”, developed by MIP, will be
the legal driving force of the International broadcasting multimedia platform of Ukraine. This
regulatory document was signed by the President of Ukraine on 28th December 2015.
The draft Law “On international broadcasting system of Ukraine” is a basis for the foreign
broadcasting reform, which is why well-known media lawyers, members of the Committee
on Freedom of Speech and Information Policy, experts of the National Television and Radio
Broadcasting Council and public activists were involved in its development. The experience of
the US and EU countries was used, including such effective and quality broadcasters as Voice of
America and Deutsche Welle; also freedom of expression and adherence to journalistic standards
were enshrined.
MIP vision is not just about international broadcasting channel, but about modern media platform,
that by using all means of communication will deliver the truth about Ukraine. The law will allow
to engage community organizations, public leaders, foreign missions with the content filling of
such International broadcasting multimedia platform of Ukraine. This document is for qualitative
reforms: international broadcasting, information policy and information security.
Minister of Information Policy of Ukraine Yurii Stets: ”International broadcasting reform of
Ukraine is a top priority for our Ministry in terms of hybrid war, in conditions when it is almost
impossible to see the true news about Ukraine abroad. We just have to give the world the
opportunity to receive news not from Russian television, but from the native UATV”.
Minister Yurii Stets during October and November presented the International broadcasting
multimedia platform of Ukraine to the ambassadors of Canada, Australia, Egypt, Turkey,
Cyprus, Israel, Greece, Bulgaria and other countries, as well as to the leadership of the
Ukrainian World Congress. The goal is to launch the international broadcasting channel
worldwide as soon as possible.

security and promotion of Ukraine’s information space

of ECMIP with the partners of the Ministry - the International Renaissance Foundation
and OSCE made it possible. Meetings with public activists, representatives of media and
communications specialists were held in Kyiv, Mariupol, Odesa and Chernivtsi.
The Concept was translated into English and sent to international expert organizations for
analysis.
Co-chairman of ECMIP Sergii Danylenko: “The Concept of information security is socially
important document that applies to everyone, because every citizen of Ukraine is a consumer
of information”.
The second phase of discussions started in August, and was supported by OSCE Representative
Office in Ukraine.
“Within the second phase the members
of ECMIP held roundtable discussions in
Kharkiv, Ternopil, Zhytomyr, Uzhhorod and
Sievierodonetsk, after what the Expert Council
will carefully process all proposals and will
make the corresponding changes to the draft
Concept “- said Advisor to the Minister Dmytro
Zolotukhin.
During the regional discussions many proposals
for amendments in terminology of the
document and key areas of its implementation
were received. Proposals were carefully
worked out in the framework of ERMIP, and
amendments to the draft Concept were made.
Office of OSCE Project Coordinator in Ukraine also assisted in public discussion of the draft
Concept. Minister of Information Policy of Ukraine Yurii Stets, Senior Officer of OSCE Project
Coordinator in Ukraine Jeffrey Erlich and OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media Dunja
Mijatovic held a joint briefing on the cooperation of the Government of Ukraine and institutions
of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. In particular, it was announced
about further joint initiatives of the Ministry of Information Policy and OSCE Project Coordinator
in Ukraine.
Senior Officer of OSCE Project Coordinator in Ukraine Jeffrey Erlich: “This is a very positive step
and, even, I would say, a new day for democracy, when the Ministry involves public and media
community so openly to discuss such an important documents”.
Additionally, in late August the Ministry of Information Policy of Ukraine held a discussion of the
Concept of information security of Ukraine with the representatives of expert organizations of
Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Lviv, Poltava, Chernihiv, and Odesa via video conferencing.
Yurii Stets: “If such a concept of information security of Ukraine was adopted 24 years ago, the
information war would have fewer consequences.”
The Minister during questions from each region gave clear answers to the comments on the
document and promised that the document of ECMIP, with all the remarks collected during
the public discussions together with expert community in the regions of Ukraine, will be
implemented by the end of this year.
Members of the Expert Council under the MIP
and the Minister of Information Policy Yurii Stets
held a working meeting with Professor Dr. Katrin
Nyman Metcalf, Tallinn Law School at Tallinn
University of Technology, who at the invitation
of the Office of the OSCE Representative on
Freedom of the Media developed the analysis of
the Concept of information security of Ukraine.
Professor Katrin Nyman-Metcalf said: “There are no fundamental differences in the vision of the
document. The problem and the goal to which it is concluded are clear. Only exposition needs an
adaptation, and a consensus will be found. You must always keep the discussion to improve the
legislative base in the field of information and communications. Quick solutions of threats’ problem
in the information field do not exist”.
Developed materials of the draft Concept also became the basis for another strategic document –
Doctrine of information security, which reflects all the main aspects of the public discussions.
As a result of joint work, the Ministry has transferred for further adoption two documents: Doctrine
of information security to NSDC, Concept of information security of Ukraine to the Cabinet of
Ministers of Ukraine.

From the first days of the Commission the
problem of shutting off the power supplies
to television towers that interrupted
broadcasting of TV, radio programs and
digital streams not only in ATO area, but
throughout other regions took place.
May 25, the Prime Minister of Ukraine
signed a resolution No. 317 “Ensuring

for economy and national security in
communication and telecommunications
during special period” on the proposal of
MIP.
This resolution introduced a ban on
shutting off the TV towers and other objects
of TV and radio broadcasting system.
As part of the work implemented by the
Commission on ensuring stable operation of
national television and radio broadcasting,
there is a regular monitoring mission of the
MIP in Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
Representatives of agencies forming the
part of the commission effected the erection
of the television tower on the Karachun Hill,

Shutting down of Ukrainian Radio
transmitters occurred due to cuts in funding
from the Government and uncoordinated

in many years of activity of old Ukrainian
broadcaster. Because such an approach
during actual war is not unacceptable, Yurii

“Embedded journalism” Project
The “Embedded Journalism” program started up in May initiated by the Ministry of Defense,
the General Staff of the Armed Forces, and the Ministry of Information Policy. A sample taken
as basis for this program were the standards applied in the work of Western journalists during
armed conflicts, particularly, in Iraq and Afghanistan.
A reporter is attached to the headquarters of one of military units and stays on battlefield
positions. He or she does not participate in combat operations, though is subordinated to a
relevant officer and lives in the same conditions as the rest of the soldiers.
“We need to capture immediately the
information from the front line — this is a kind
of chronicle of events. This requires creating
conditions for journalists while embedded in
a combat zone. MIP together with the MoD
launches the Embedded Journalism project
designed to solve this problem. We are
absolutely aware of the risk in this case and
demand the reporters to have an insurance
policy and certificate of special training
completion. Unlike foreign reporters, there are
very few Ukrainian journalists having relevant
documents”, Deputy Minister said.
Mykhailo Shtekel, participant of the project: “Program «Embedded journalism» for me began
with a helicopter flight from Kramatorsk to the north of Luhansk region almost to the very
positions of 92th separate mechanized brigade, which was to become the only topic of my work
for about a week”.
Initiated by the Ministry of Information Policy of Ukraine and the Ministry of Defense of
Ukraine, the five-day training for mobilized journalists was held at the Military Institute of
Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. During the training the future press officers have
not only mastered a new profession, but also improved their professional skills. Mobilized
journalists attended a course of lectures given by leading local media experts, information
technology specialists, military correspondents and press officers, as well as teachers and
academicians of the Institute.
Today, Ukrainian and foreign journalists successfully work with the military in ATO area under the
«Embedded journalists» project. The journalists of BBC, CNN, Washington Post, London Evening
Standard, The Independed, Newsweek, France Press, Polsat, Daily Signal, Hanslucas, Цензор.НЕТ
(Tsenzor.NET), Радіо Свобода (Radio Svoboda), Інтера (Inter), Business Ukraine, Новое время
(Novoye Vremya) participated in the project.
It should be noted that taking care of the safety of journalists MIP
agreed on the insurance for Ukrainian journalists with associations
of insurers: Insurance Business Association, the League of Insurance
Organizations of Ukraine and the Ukrainian Insurance Federation.
Program of ensuring journalist work in ATO area

Information Policy, the members of the Expert Council under the MIP, and the Chairman of the
Public Council under the MIP Olha Skrypnyk.
Yurii Stets: “Journalists, who follow standards of the
profession, should not be subject to sanctions. Sanctions will
be applied only to so-called representatives of the media
that, in reality, are representatives of the FSB involved in
destabilizing the country”.
At the first meeting members of the working group decided to submit proposals, including
ones from NGOs for MIP development within the shortest possible time. They will be processed
and submitted by the Minister for discussion at the meeting of the NSDC.

Amendments to Article 5 of the Law of Ukraine “On
Legal Status of Foreigners and stateless persons
“(regarding the grounds for issuing temporary
residence permit to representatives of foreign media).

regulated, transparent and effective procedures of
issuing certificates.

request of journalists of international foreign media, such as a representative of the British
news agency “Reuters” Serhii Karaziya, the largest news agency in the USA “Associated Press”
Dmytro Vlasov, and the third of the major news agencies in the World “Agence France-Presse”

replicate and distribute the thematic
review of the human rights situation
under occupation “Crimea beyond rules” in
Russian and English.
Review aims to help the international
community, human rights organizations,
international and national bodies and
structures to understand the human rights
situation in the Crimea.
At this time, human rights activists have
prepared two thematic reviews: “Freedom of movement and freedom to
choose the residence” and “Right of property”.
At the position of Advisor to the Minister of Information Policy of Ukraine Sergii Kostynskyi
supported the campaign “Freedom to Crimean people - prisoners of Russia”, and said that
MIP will support Ukrainian human rights activists on informing society and the international
community about Crimean patriots imprisoned by Russia for political reasons.
The mail goal of the campaign is to remind Ukrainian society of Crimean residents, of Crimean
Tatars - political prisoners - said Advisor to the Minister. - Oleg Sentsov, Akhtem Chyygoz,
Oleksandr Kolchenko, Ali Asanov, Genadyi Afanasyev, Mustafa Dehermendzhy, Oleksiy Chyrniy,
Oleksandr Kostenko, Yurii Ilchenko - these names must know everyone in Ukraine, and in abroad.
“We will remind the world that the
inhabitants of the Crimea are actually
prisoners of Russian Federation. The
international pressure, thanks to this
campaign also, on country-aggressor will
be strengthened as long as will not result
in de-occupation of the occupied regions
of Crimea, and the Donetsk and Lugansk
regions, and the release of all hostages and
political prisoners”, - said Sergii Kostynskyi.
Newly-appointed Advisor to the Minister of Information Policy of Ukraine Emine Dzheppar

premises, where ATR television channel was located, at homes of former general director of
TV channel Elzara Islyamova and her deputy, Crimean journalist Lilia Budzhurova, in father’s
house of owner of TV channel, Edem Islyamov; and in regard of the opening of a criminal case
against the owner of ATR Lenur Islyamov.
“Searches at homes of former
management of the channel, seizure of
documents, computers and telephones,
intimidation of ATR owner’s family,
which lives in the Crimea, all of this
can be qualified as a violation of the
inviolability of homes and abbrochment.
I think that all persons involved in the
searches and opening of a criminal
case, sooner or later have to bear
criminal responsibility”, - said Emine
Dzheppar.
Earlier, the Ministry of Information
Policy of Ukraine appealed to the
Ukrainian editorship of “Radio
Svoboda” with a proposal to produce
radio programs for the First channel
of Ukrainian Radio. It has been
proposed that such programs will be
one more step towards securing the
inhabitants of the occupied Crimea by
objective, unbiased information about
the situation on the peninsula, in
Ukrainian mainland and in the world
in general.
In September, the Ministry of Information Policy of Ukraine, the State Committee for television
and radio broadcasting of Ukraine and the Ukrainian editorship of “Radio Svoboda” have
presented at the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine new radio project - a joint project of “Radio
Svoboda” and the First channel of Ukrainian Radio - “Radio Krym.Realii”.
“Radio Krym. Realii” airs every morning and evening on “The first Ukrainian” radio channel on a
frequency of 549 kilohertz. Ukrainian radio signal covers at least 70% of Ukraine. Broadcasting
is made in Russian, Ukrainian and Crimean Tatar languages. There are news and author
programs of well-known Crimean journalists among the programs. Currently, the Ministry of
Information Policy of Ukraine and the Ukrainian editorship “Radio Svoboda” conduct further
negotiations to transform the studio of “Radio Krym. Realii” into a fully-featured radio station.
Director of the Ukrainian editorship
“Radio Svoboda” Mariana Drach: “The
new project for the Crimean people is
a new challenge for editorship, whose
mission is to promote democratic
values through dissemination of credible
information. According to Ukrainian and
international human rights activists the
situation in the peninsula is deteriorating,
so it is important for us to support the
Crimean people especially at this time”.
“Crimean journalists, who work both in the
occupied peninsula and in the mainland
of Ukraine, run the Crimean project Radio
Svoboda “Krym.Realii”, — said project
manager, editor of Krym.Realii Volodymyr
Prytula, who for about 20 years was a
correspondent of the Ukrainian editorship
of “Radio Svoboda” in the Crimea until the
annexation.
According to head of TV and radio program
“Krym.Realii” Oleksandr Jankowskyi, residents
of the annexed peninsula, despite the obstacles
made by the occupation authorities, will be
able to get the full range of information about
events in the world, Ukraine, Russia and native
peninsula. Journalists of Radio Krym.Realii will
strongly contribute to this.
Ministry of information policy of Ukraine organized a meeting with the Crimean human rights
activists concerning the organization of joint information campaign devoted to the second
remembrance of the occupation of the Crimea.
According to the Advisor to the Minister
on Crimean information policy Emine
Dzheppar, the Crimean journalists,
human rights activists and social
activists will join the information events.

corresponding procedure to enable
the President to address the whole
Ukrainian society, including the Crimeans on 26th February”, - said Dzheppar.
“We are preparing to release the second part of the book “The island of fear: a chronicle of the
occupation and violations of human rights”, which is devoted to the analysis of the situation in
Crimea during the second year of the occupation; we are ready to present it as part of the overall
information campaign”, - said Daria Svyrydova, coordinator of the Ukrainian Helsinki Human
Rights Union.
