A number of providers broadcasting Ukrainian TV channels were attacked. Pro-Russian videos were aired, according to Triolan Internet provider and social media.

On the evening of Thursday, December 5, cable TV users experienced signal disruptions. Preliminary reports indicate that on several channels, a woman speaking in Russian talked about poor living conditions in Ukraine and urged people to move to Russia.

The issue was specifically reported by users of the Triolan network. However, the company has promised to resolve the problem as quickly as possible and restore stable broadcasting. They noted that the issue is expected to be fixed by 9:00 p.m. this evening.
