RBC-Ukraine (Ukrainian: РБК-Україна, romanized: RBK-Ukraina) is a Ukrainian news agency. Founded in 2006 as a division of the Russian media holding RBC Group (abbreviation for "RosBusinessConsulting"), but in 2010, the agency "RBC-Ukraine" left the composition of the Russian holding, and in 2015, it completely came under the control of Ukrainian media businessman Yosyp Pintus. On January 29, 2016, the Russian holding "RBC" tried to challenge the use of the "RBC" brand in court, but lost the case.[1]
Since April 2014, IA "RBC-Ukraine" positions itself as an independent company that has no relation to the Russian structure. From August 1, 2016, to June 2017, RBC-Ukraine was managed by Valeriy Kalnysh, the former chief editor of "Radio Vesti"[2] and the magazine "Kommersant-Ukraine".[3][better source needed] Since July 2017, the chief editor has been Serhiy Shcherbyna.[4]
