112 Ukraine (Ukrainian: 112 Україна) was a private Ukrainian TV channel which provided 24-hour news coverage. 112 Ukraine was available on satellites AMOS 2/3, via the DVB-T2 network, and was also available in packages of all major Ukrainian cable operators until it was banned from broadcasting in Ukraine in February 2021.[2] The channel was focused on live broadcasting.
It was reportedly affiliated with the pro-Russian politician and businessman Viktor Medvedchuk.[3][4] Since December 2018, the channel has been owned by Taras Kozak, a parliament member of Opposition Platform — For Life[5] who is reportedly an associate of Medvedchuk.[1][6] The broadcasting of the channel was prohibited on 2 February 2021 by the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine as part of the imposed sanctions on Kozak.[2] The channel was immediately shut down but continued to livestream its content on the Internet.[2] On 5 March 2021, YouTube blocked the live broadcasts of the channel.[7]
