"While fully recognising Ukraine’s legitimate need to counter the Russian Federation’s information warfare during its ongoing war of aggression, the Assembly notes concerns regarding the continued operation and substantial public financing of the ‘United News’ telethon in Ukraine, particularly in view of declining audience reach and levels of public trust. It stresses that wartime media co-ordination mechanisms involving significant public resources should remain exceptional, necessary and proportionate, and should be subject to transparent criteria, regular independent assessment of their effectiveness, cost-efficiency and continued necessity, and effective safeguards for media pluralism and editorial independence. Such assessments should also consider whether public resources could be used more effectively to support a diverse and independent media environment, including regional, local, investigative and public-interest journalism."
