   BBC launches new shortwave radio service

   The BBC has launched a new shortwave radio service in Ukraine to ensure the   
   resilience of its news operations in Ukraine and Russia, the corporation has   
   announced.   
      
   The new broadcasts will make four hours of World Service English news   
   available every day and will reach audiences in Ukraine and parts of Russia.   
      
   Listeners in the area will be able to tune into the broadcasts at 15735 kHz   
   from 16:00-18:00 GMT and 5875 kHz from 22:00-00:00 GMT.   
      
   Director-General Tim Davie said in a statement: “It’s often said truth is   
   the first casualty of war. In a conflict where disinformation and propaganda   
   is rife, there is a clear need for factual and independent news people can   
   trust – and in a    
   significant development, millions more Russians are turning to the BBC.   
      
   “We will continue giving the Russian people access to the truth, however we   
   can."   
      
   Throughout the conflict, the BBC's Ukrainian and Russian services are also   
   providing live updates online. (BBC)
