The russian occupiers are deliberately destroying the television and broadcasting infrastructure in Ukraine. This is done in order to deprive Ukrainians of the opportunity to receive truthful information about the war.

This was announced at a briefing in Media Center Ukraine by the head of the State Special Service Yuri Shchigol.

"Since the beginning of hostilities, more than 20 facilities of the RRT Concern have been damaged. As a result of the shelling on May 3 in Lviv, two transformer substations that supplied the RRT Concern broadcasting facility in Lviv were destroyed. However, within a few hours, the technical specialists of the RRT Concern resumed broadcasting," – Shchigol told.

We will remind, on May 3 the Russian Federation struck rocket attacks on Lviv.

In March, the invaders attacked the Rivne region, destroying a local television tower. In Vinnytsia, as a result of the night rocket attack on the TV tower, the broadcast was temporarily out of order. And in early March, the invaders attacked the TV tower in Kyiv.
