Ukraine News Today was a Ukraine-based private English language satellite television channel and webcasting service.[5][6] The channel, which was owned by the Ukrainian 1+1 group and headquartered in Kyiv, presented round-the-clock news bulletins aimed at the overseas news market. The General Producer was Tetiana Pushnova.

In April 2016 it stopped satellite broadcasting, to become an online-only service. Prior to that it was an international satellite television channel. On 26 December 2016, it was announced that its parent company 1+1 was shutting down the online service on 1 January 2017.[7][4]
