Svoboda, which means “freedom” in Russian, represents a significant step forward in the quest for unrestricted access to information in a region where media freedom faces numerous challenges. The bouquet will enable Russian-speaking viewers to access a wide range of independent journalism and international news, with the aim of fostering a more informed and diverse media landscape.

Eutelsat, known for its expertise in satellite services, will provide the satellite broadcasting capabilities, ensuring that Svoboda reaches audiences.
