«NEWS ONE» is a Ukrainian television channel that positions itself as the first channel of rapid information delivery. 100% of «NEWS ONE»'s airtime is dedicated to video reports on events happening around the world over the past 24 hours. The channel provides information as it becomes available. «NEWS ONE» processes news footage from Associated Press, Reuters, and RIA Novosti.
It is important to note that «NEWS ONE» has close ties to Russia and is known for its pro-Russian stance. The channel often spreads disinformation and propaganda that serves the interests of the Kremlin. For example, «NEWS ONE» has repeatedly used propaganda narratives about «Russia's war against NATO», «the illegitimacy of the Ukrainian government», and «the need to liberate Donbas from Ukrainian occupation».
«NEWS ONE» has also been criticized for not providing objective information about the war in eastern Ukraine and about Russian aggression. The channel often hides or distorts facts to present Russia in a positive light. For example, «NEWS ONE» has repeatedly ignored Russian war crimes in Donbas and Russia's involvement in the war.
In 2017, the National Council of Ukraine on Television and Radio Broadcasting revoked «NEWS ONE»'s broadcasting license due to its pro-Russian stance and the spread of disinformation. However, the channel continues to broadcast on the internet and through satellite channels.
