Today the leading TV channels, FM stations and newspapers appear in both the Russian and Ukrainian languages. For example, even the parliamentary newspaper “Holos Ukrainy” has Russian and Ukrainian versions (although Russian de-jure isn't an official language in Ukraine)
There is a glut of Russian media in the Ukraine. The government has tried to limit their quantity by introducing taxes for the foreign press, but the response has been to establish Ukrainian versions of these newspapers with headquarters in the Ukraine. As a result, Russian has maintained its influence over Ukrainian readers, because these newspapers have continued to be popular since the Soviet era. The attraction of such brands as “Komsomolskaya Pravda” or “Izvestia” still draws Ukrainians to buy Russian press.
This popularity of Russian newspapers can be explained by invasion of Russian capital to the Ukraine.
