"The Council for Electronic Media does not share any suggestion related to denial of the atrocities in Bucha. We have seen a monstrous act of torture and murder of civilians and CEM was signaled more than a year ago about the media coverage of the events", the position of the regulator reads.

A few days ago, the chair of the CEM, Sonya Momchilova, said in a well-known podcast that there was Russian propaganda, but there was also the opposite - "about Putin's illness, about the fact that he was replaced, that he died, about Bucha." Her words caused a reaction of the Ukrainian embassy against the "distortion of facts in the conditions of large-scale armed Russian aggression against Ukraine".

Since the start of the war, CEM has carried out numerous observations of programs of radio and television operators for compliance with the Radio and Television Act. Administrative criminal proceedings have been instituted and sanctions have been imposed on media that deny the atrocities of the war, the position also reads.
