Since November 2015 Ukrainian authorities, state agencies and local government authorities are forbidden to act as founders (or cofounders) of printed media outlets.
[1] According to a law that went into effect on 16 January 2022, all print media in Ukraine must be published in the state language, Ukrainian, even if it is published simultaneously in another language, such as Russian.
This rule does not apply to material published exclusively in Crimean Tatar, in other languages of the indigenous peoples of Ukraine or in (another) official languages of the European Union.
