Die Behörden von der Ukraine abtrünnigen "Donezker Volksrepublik" (DVR) werden die Signale der ukrainischen Fernsehsender "verstopfen". Dies meldete die Stimme Russlands am 8. Dezember auf ihrer Website. Zuvor hatte der ukrainische Minister für Informationspolitik, Juri Stez, mitgeteilt, dass die Kiewer Behörden die Übertragung ukrainischer Fernsehsendungen über die Territorien der Donezker und der Lugansker Volksrepubliken planen. Daraufhin erklärte der Sprecher des Komitees für Fernsehen, Rundfunk und Informationstechnologien der DVR, Pawel Michaljow, man werde keine Ausstrahlung ukrainischer Fernsehsendungen über das Territorium der Republik zulassen. Wie DVR-Kommunikationsminister Viktor Jazenko am 8. Dezember 2014 in Donezk mitteilte, "werden jetzt Sendungen aus Wolnowacha (einer zwischen Donezk und Mariupol gelegen Stadt) übertragen. In dieser Woche soll eine Störanlage dafür aufgestellt werden". Die Möglichkeiten der ukrainischen Behörden, Sendungen ihrer Kanäle über das Territorium der Donezker Region ausstrahlen zu lassen, seien stark übertrieben, so der Kommunikationsminister. "Die Haupt- und wichtigsten Sendestationen stehen unter unserer Kontrolle." Im Juni war die Ausstrahlung von fünf Fernsehsendern - dem 5. Kanal, 1+1, Donbass, UBR und News 24 - in Donezk eingestellt worden. Nach Auffassung der lokalen Behörden strahlten die ukrainischen Fernsehsender Informationen aus, die auf Verbreitung von Völkerhass und Heroisierung von Anhängern des Nazismus gerichtet seien sowie die Tätigkeit der "Volksrepublik Donezk" falsch beleuchteten. http://german.ruvr.ru/news/2014_06_06/Ausstrahlung-von-funf-Fernsehsendern-in-Donezk-eingestellt-7286/, http://german.ruvr.ru/news/2014_12_08/Donezker-Volksrepublik-will-ukrainische-TV-Sendungen-blockieren-1475 Dr. Hansjörg Biener Google attempts a translation: Ukraine: The breakaway authorities of Ukraine "Donetsk People's Republic" (DVR) will "clog" the signals of the Ukrainian TV channel.
