Ukrainian Minister of Culture and Information Policy Oleksandr Tkachenko says the recently sanctioned Ukrainian TV channels owned by MP Taras Kozak, who is believed to be an ally of Vladimir Putin's crony Viktor Medvedchuk, were indirectly financed from Russia.
Speaking in an interview for the Ukrainian media outlet LB.ua, Tkachenko said he had seen the documents while working with the parliament's ad hoc commission on those TV channels.
"I was interested in the very fact of their acquisition since it is a long and controversial story. I have every reason to speak about indirect financing from Russia at least at the stage when the TV channels were acquired," he said.
Tkachenko added it had taken more than two months to discuss what to do with the "Kremlin's propaganda machine," and there had to be the political will to address it.
