The Ukrainian World Congress (UWC) has called on Ukraine’s authorities to cancel the decision to shut down the Ukrainian language section of Radio Ukraine International (RUI).
“The Ukrainian World Congress (UWC) expressed grave concern in a letter to President Viktor Yanukovych, Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada, Volodymyr Lytvyn, Prime Minister Mykola Azarov and the Head of the State Committee for Television and Radio Broadcasting of Ukraine, Yuriy Plaksiuk, over the 25 May, 2011 decision of the General Director of the National Radio Company of Ukraine to shut down the Ukrainian language section of Radio Ukraine International,” the information posted on the UWC web site reads.
The UWC is calling on Ukraine’s authorities to cancel the decision by Director General of the National Radio Company of Ukraine Taras Avrakhov to shut down the Ukrainian language section of Radio Ukraine International due to its importance as a source of information on national issues for Ukrainians living abroad, according to the letter.
In its letter, the UWC pointed out that Radio Ukraine International is broadcasting in the Ukrainian language, providing a listening audience of more than 20 million in the Ukrainian diaspora with information about life in Ukraine and the lives of Ukrainians beyond its borders.
