Ukraine\u2019s State Enterprise \u201cInternational Broadcasting Multimedia Platform of Ukraine\u201d (IBMPU) has launched the Hungarian-language YouTube channel<\/strong> UATV Magyarul<\/a><\/strong>. It has become the ninth platform <\/strong>in the ecosystem of UATV foreign broadcasting brands. At launch, the channel had already gained its first 1,000 subscribers and accumulated more than 340,000 views.<\/p>\n

The new channel aims to introduce Hungarian audiences to various aspects of life in Ukraine, stories of the resilience of Ukrainian society, efforts to resist Russian aggression, and cultural and social initiatives. Currently, UATV Magyarul <\/strong>offers Hungarian-language adaptations of original foreign broadcasting content. Viewers can follow key Ukrainian news, statements and addresses by Ukraine\u2019s top leadership and international leaders, and learn about Ukraine\u2019s efforts to achieve peace and strengthen cooperation with partners, particularly in the defense sector.<\/p>\n

The UATV Magyarul team also includes Tibor Tompa<\/strong> as a host. He produces original interviews with experts, academics, volunteers, and civil society representatives who actively support the development of friendly relations between Ukraine and Hungary. His guests have already included Hungarian volunteer Lajos Gyulai<\/a> and Italian-Hungarian historian Stefano Bottoni,<\/a> author of the book Orb\u00e1n: A Power-Obsessed Leader<\/em>. Another host of the channel is ethnic Hungarian Csaba Bakos<\/a>, who was born in the village of Dertsen in Ukraine\u2019s Zakarpattia region.<\/p>\n

Communication with Hungarian-speaking audiences has gained particular importance amid the major reset in Ukrainian-Hungarian relations following the parliamentary election victory of the party led by P\u00e9ter Magyar and his appointment as prime minister. Notably, the channel\u2019s most-watched video is a livestream<\/a> dedicated to the new stage in relations between Kyiv and Budapest.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor us, it is extremely important that UATV in Hungarian has found its audience directly in Hungary. This demonstrates a demand for honest and verified information about Ukraine. At a time when Ukrainian-Hungarian relations are entering a new phase, direct communication with Hungarian society is becoming especially significant. We believe mutual understanding between our peoples begins with quality communication and access to verified facts. That is why we want Hungarian citizens to receive information about Ukraine without intermediaries or language barriers\u2014in their native language,\u201d said Vadym Lubchak, Head of Digital at IBMPU.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Since its launch, the UATV Magyarul YouTube channel has successfully reached its target audience: 96% of views come from outside Ukraine, including 69% from Hungary, 5.1% from Romania, and 4% from Slovakia. The top cities by viewership are Budapest, Debrecen, Bratislava, Szeged, and Miskolc. At launch, the channel had already gained more than 1,000 subscribers and accumulated over 340,000 views.<\/p>\n
