Kyiv, December 18, 2015.<\/strong> <\/em>Ukraine\u2019s Armed Forces are to launch their own radio station on March 1 with the support of a U.S. civil initiative, said advisor to the Defense Minister of Ukraine Oleksiy Makukhin at a press briefing at Ukraine Crisis Media Center. He said the project is important for Ukrainian servicemen as they suffer from an information vacuum on the frontline. \u201cThe radio station will, first of all, be an entertaining product, music will make up 70% of its content. Surely news will be broadcast, as well as live air programs for servicemen where one will be able to send greetings and make musical requests. There will also be talks with commanders, volunteers and other military leaders,\u201d said advisor to the Minister. In particular a morning program of the \u201cfield post\u201d type and daily specialized programs are planned. For example it can be a talk with a chaplain or a psychologist, and a \u201chard talk\u201d format show in the evening with, say, the command. It is planned to produce programs with useful practical tips for the military. The broadcasting network is currently being developed, that\u2019s why the initiative is open for suggestions. The radio team will work from Kyiv and will include both military and civilian staff.<\/p>\n

The initiative is also to help improve the horizontal interaction among servicemen in a less formal way. \u201cMilitary radio is an important new communication channel for us. We want our soldiers, especially those who are in ATO zone, to be better connected with the news from home and better informed about the life of their country. The project will also allow improving ties between the units and the command in a quicker and informal manner,\u201d said Defense Minister General Stepan Poltorak.<\/p>\n

\u201cTechnically the content will be broadcast via satellite in FM-range. It is made for maximum convenience of the listeners, so that everyone willing can find the frequency and listen to the military radio,\u201d said Major Serhiy Tetelytskyi, radio station director. Advisor to the Defense Minister said that the military radio will have maximum coverage at the territories where Ukrainian servicemen are present. \u201cMoreover we will be placing the transmitters in such a way that they are mobile and thus we will be able to adjust the set up. Such a decision was made because the frontline can change over time,\u201d elaborated Makukhin on future plans. Some of the FM frequencies that are to be used are being reassigned by private owners who are not able to use them due to temporary occupation of some areas, said Makukhin.<\/p>\n

Work on the project lasted several months, said Isaac Eagan, Director of Field Operations at the \u201cSpirit of America\u201d civil initiative. It is an answer to the question what is the U.S. government doing to support Ukraine. He said while on a trip in the ATO zone he noticed that the troops lack communication among themselves and that there is a lack of information. \u201cIt would be very helpful to have clear, more effective communication between all players there. One of the best ways to do this is through the radio, through creating not only an informational platform but also a source for entertainment for the troops in this very difficult struggle,\u201d said the Field Operations Director of the \u201cSpirit of America\u201d.<\/p>\n

Jim Hake, founder and Chief Executive Officer of the charitable organization \u201cSpirit of America\u201d that is helping launch the military radio station said that American people very much feel for the situation in Ukraine. This charitable organization represents the people of the U.S. who want to help Ukrainians. \u201cUkraine has become very special to us. To me the most important, the most moving, the most inspirational thing is to see courage, spirit, and action. And the last ten days from Yavoriv to the villages outside Donetsk we have seen the courage and human spirit of the Ukrainian people, over and over again. And it has been just all inspiring for us. Ukraine really is a volunteer nation,\u201d commented Jim Hake. He said that this kind of civic action is a foundation of a free and democratic society. They\u2019ve seen people risking their lives so that they and their children can live in peace. \u201cOne of the expressions that I\u2019ve learnt at the frontlines in the ATO zone this week was \u2018volia abo smert\u2019 (freedom or death \u2013 ed.). That is very similar to one of the expressions by one of the leaders of our independence movement. So we have very much in common with the Ukrainian people,\u201d said founder and Chief Executive Officer of the charitable organization \u201cSpirit of America\u201d. He also said: \u201cwe understand that Ukraine\u2019s fight is a fight for civilization, it\u2019s a fight for all of us\u201d adding that Ukrainians want to determine the future of their country on their own, that is their right and Americans very much believe in that.<\/p>\n
