Critics of President Yanukovych’s government have protested against the reporting of the August 24 Independent Day events in Kiev on the newly-launched Ukrainian-language service of Euronews while thousands were demonstrating against the ongoing detention of Yulia Tymoshenko. The AEJ’s Ukrainian Section showcased the complaints about the local Euronews coverage as set out by Telekritika website. And the Kyiv Post
reports the serious concern of opposition MPs over “scandalous” pro-government bias. Euronews’ new partner in Ukraine is the state-owned broadcaster UTV-1.
