The Ukrainian Service of the BBC has stopped radio broadcasting.
The website of BBC My World will continue to function. The British Broadcasting Corporation said that dismissals at the BBC World Service were linked to a reduction in the amount of a grant, which the UK government allocates for foreign broadcasting.
Peter Horrocks, the BBC's global news director, said that 650 out of 2,400 jobs in the service would be closed over the next three years, most of them during the first year, UKRINFORM reported, with reference to the Ukrainian Service of the BBC. In addition to Ukrainian, the BBC will stop radio broadcasting in Azerbaijani, Russian (except for certain programs), Spanish (for Cuba), Vietnamese and Turkish.
The BBC Ukrainian Service was founded under a decision of the British government immediately after Ukraine gained independence.
The first BBC program in the Ukrainian language was broadcast on June 1, 1992, and participating in it was first Ukrainian President Leonid Kravchuk.
