On May 3, 2022, the governor of the Odessa region, Colonel Maxim Marchenko, announced that the dismantling of satellite dishes belonging to the residents of the city had begun in Odessa.

Reason: Odesa residents can watch Russian television with the help of these antennas.

But Marchenko does not see the dismantling of antennas as an effective way to combat freedom of information. After all, there are a lot of such antennas.

Therefore, he says that "with the help of Western partners, we are taking steps to turn off the satellites that Russian television companies rent."

Thus, as Marchenko hopes, residents of the Odessa region will not be able to watch Russian television.

Earlier, Deputy Mayor of Dnepropetrovsk Mikhail Lysenko said that in the city until March 28, all satellite dishes from ALL houses will be dismantled.

True, he explained the dismantling of antennas by another reason: antennas can help direct enemy fire.

In Ukraine, over the past 8 years, about 10 TV channels have been banned that broadcast different points of view, including those that differ from the official propaganda.

On February 26, in Ukraine, a single television broadcast "United News" began to appear on many television channel.

Maxim Marchenko, before being appointed governor of Odessa, was the commander of the ultra-right formation "Aidar", which is part of the armed forces of Ukraine.
