Ukraine’s government broadcasting authority has extended the operating licensing for a popular television station that has been accused of a pro-Russia stance.
The broadcasting authority said in a statement that its executive board voted Thursday to renew Inter’s license for seven years.
Prominent members of parliament had demand action against Inter for adopting an editorial policy allegedly detrimental to the country. Inter is also facing unrelated criminal investigations.
The broadcasting authority says there were no legal grounds to revoke Inter’s license.
