The closing of the three stations was appealed yesterday to the Supreme Court. A Presidential decree cannot be stayed until a higher court, the High Administrative Court, hears the case. Viktor Medvedchuk, the reputed shadow owner of the stations, complained yesterday: “With one stroke of a pen, Zelenskiy threw out 1,500 journalists and other employees of the three stations into the street and deprived millions of people of the right to receive objective information.” Medvedchuk’s party, the Opposition Platform – For Life, started impeachment proceedings in the Rada against Zelenskiy. The party has only 10% of the seats in parliament.
