Ukrainian soliders will have their own radio
The radio for the military will begin its work in early spring 2016. Adviser to Defense Minister Alexei Makukhin reported about it.
«It is not a secret that our troops on the front lines often suffer from information vacuum. So, the soliders should have this radio. 70% of the content will be music, in addition, there will be news and programs for war — live stream, where the military will be able to transmit greetings, call the tune, telling the news. There will also be esters with experts and the military, «- commented Makukhin.
According to project manager Sergey Teletitsky, all employees of the radio, including personnel, will be located in the capital.
Funding for the project will provide a charitable organization Spirit of America (USA, California). This decision was made by its founder Jim Heike, who after a stay in ATO was very impressed with the volunteer movement in Ukraine.
Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador to Ukraine Payette has already congratulated the organization in his Twitter account: «I congratulate SpiritAmerica, which help DefenseUA launch the first radio station in the area of the ATO.»
