    STATEMENT BY RICHARD BOUCHER, SPOKESMAN

    Shutdown of Radio Kontynent

    The United States views with grave concern recent attempts by Ukrainian authorities to limit public access to independent news and information. The shutdown of Radio Kontynent and silencing of Radio Liberty/Radio Free Europe (RL/RFE), VOA, and other international broadcasters is an assault on democracy and is a serious concern in an election year in Ukraine when the need for news from many sources is greatest. The shutdown of Radio Kontynent, which had agreed to broadcast RL/RFE, comes several weeks after Radio Dovira terminated its rebroadcast of RL/RFE.

    We call on the Ukrainian leadership to act immediately to allow Radio Kontynent to resume broadcasting and to refrain from erecting further obstacles to the rebroadcast of international radio broadcasts in Ukraine. Ukrainian authorities must cease their ongoing campaign against independent media, which directly contradicts Ukraine's stated desire to democratize and move closer to the Euro-Atlantic community.

    Сполучені Штати з великим занепокоєнням спостерігають за спробами української влади обмежити доступ громадськості до незалежної інформації. Закриття Радіо "Континент" та зняття з етеру Радіо Свобода-Радіо Вільна Європа, Голосу Америки та інших міжнародних радіомовлень - це наступ на демократію. Це викликає серйозну тривогу зокрема в рік виборів в Україні, коли потреба в інформації з різних джерел є, як ніколи необхідною. Закриття радіо "Континент", яке погодилося транслювати радіо "Свобода", сталося кілька тижнів після того, як радіо "Довіра" припинила трансляції програм радіо "Свобода".

    Ми закликаємо українське керівництво негайно вжити заходів, щоб радіо "Континент" відновило своє мовлення, утриматися від подальших перешкод в ретрансляції міжнародного радіомовлення в Україні. Українські власті мусять припинити свою кампанію проти незалежних ЗМІ, бо це прямо суперечить заявленим Україною прагнення демократизації та наближення до Євро-Атлантичної спільноти.
