Four of Ukraine's four largest broadcasters have come together to produce a single 24/7 news service amid the ongoing conflict in the country.
Earlier this week Russian president Vladimir Putin ordered an invasion of the country - a former Soviet state - in a move that has sparked horror, condemnation and sanctions from countries around the globe.
As the Ukrainian military and citizens continue their fight against the incursion, media groups 1+1 Media, StarLightMedia, Media Group Ukraine and Inter Media Group have teamed up to produce a unified news service called 'United News'.
"It is extremely important that people around the world have access to reliable and truthful information relating to the Russia's war against Ukraine and the course of hostilities here," the broadcasters said in a joint statement.
"We understand how powerful the Russian propaganda machine is and what kind of effort the aggressor makes to spread fake news to cynically fool people. We absolutely oppose this!
"As of 26 February, the channels of all Ukrainian media groups named above are broadcasting in the format of a single newscast named the United News. The media groups are taking turns in providing uninterrupted information.
"The Armed Forces of Ukraine, the National Security and Defense Council, the Office of the President of Ukraine and other government bodies, on which the course of events depends, have joined the broadcasting.
"We objectively and promptly provide comprehensive information from different regions of the country 24/7. We are ready to provide TV providers with our signal, and thus, ask you to help spread this information.
"We also suggest to our partners to turn off all Russian news channels so that Russia's outright propaganda does not go beyond Russia itself. In particular, we ask to block, turn off the broadcasting of these channels on European satellites."
The channel is available on the Astra 4A satellite, which has a footprint covering almost all of continental Europe, as well as the UK. body check tags ::
