A Russian missile strike destroyed the new newsroom of the FREEDOM TV channel, the building where the state-owned MBPU was building a new studio after the shelling on 12 February. Currently, FREEDOM continues to broadcast from a backup studio. The premises where the international editorial office (digital platforms UATV English, The Gaze, UATV Español, UATV Arabic, UATV Português), the editorial office of the TV channel "DOM", broadcasting equipment rooms, office premises, and the digital editorial office were also damaged after the February attack.
The top three floors of the business centre, which housed the foreign broadcasting channels, were destroyed, there is a huge crater next to the building, and the lower floors were also heavily damaged and are currently unusable.
"This is the second attack in less than two months. Now, the very premises where our digital and service departments worked and where we moved part of our team and production facilities after the February shelling have been destroyed. It was here that we were preparing to launch the renovated FREEDOM studio and carrying out other restoration work. Currently, the State Emergency Service is working on the site, dismantling the rubble, and investigators are working. Therefore, we cannot yet fully assess the extent of the damage. It is clear that these premises are now unfit for work, but we will find a solution. The main thing is that none of the foreign broadcasting team was injured. We continue to broadcast. I am grateful to everyone who supports and helps us," said Yulia Bin, General Director of the State Enterprise "MBPU".
