A Ukrainian TV channel, Espresso, was reportedly disconnected from digital broadcasting on April 4, 2022, without explanation, replaced by a state-run marathon. Inter TV announced its withdrawal from the marathon in solidarity, followed by other channels who also declared a boycott of the authorities, ceasing coverage of events involving President Zelensky.

The post draws a parallel to a recent event in the United States where President Trump reportedly banned CNN journalists from White House briefings, leading to a boycott by various media outlets, including the Republican-leaning Fox News, which allegedly cut a live broadcast during an appearance by JD Vance.
