RBC-Ukraine is a Ukrainian news agency. Founded in 2006 as a division of the Russian media holding RBC (abbreviation for "RosBusinessConsulting"), but in 2010, the agency "RBC-Ukraine" left the composition of the Russian holding, and in 2015, it completely came under the control of Ukrainian media businessman Yosyp Pintus. On January 29, 2016, the Russian holding "RBC" tried to challenge the use of the "RBC" brand in court, but lost the case[1].

Since April 2014, IA "RBC-Ukraine" positions itself as an independent company that has no relation to the Russian structure. From August 1, 2016, to June 2017, RBC-Ukraine was managed by Valeriy Kalnysh, the former chief editor of "Radio Vesti"[2] and the magazine "Kommersant-Ukraine".[3] Since July 2017, the chief editor has been Serhiy Shcherbyna.[4]

About the company

RBC-Ukraine is a Ukrainian information portal specializing in financial, economic, and political news of Ukraine and the world.[5][6] "RBC-Ukraine" was created in 2006 as the Ukrainian division of the Russian information agency RosBusinessConsulting (RBC).

The owner of the Ukrainian unit is Yosyp Pintus, a cousin of RosBusinessConsulting beneficiary Herman Kaplun.[7][8][9]

History

In the first months of 2006, only the Russian version of the site existed, but in the second half of 2006, a full-fledged Ukrainian version was launched. Among the main platforms included in the portal are the informational-analytical website "RBC-Ukraine", the online publication Worldnewsage.com (formerly Utro.ua), the informational-entertainment site "Styler" (news about culture, fashion, health, technology, and cars) and the English-language publication NewsUkraine.rbc.ua. From 2006 to 2008, the media director was journalist and media manager Roman Skrypin. In September 2016, the site was updated. In particular, the "Daily" module was added, which allows viewing the news feed without switching between pages ("infinite scrolling").[10] The updated site was divided into News, Daily, and Styler.[11] In 2018, the "Lite" section was created on the site, specializing in news about celebrities, beauty, and fashion.

In April 2015, the official website of the Ukrainian agency partially removed the information that the "agency was created with the support of the RBC group of companies"[12]. In July 2016, the information was completely removed.[13] In April 2014, it was announced that the agency had separated from the Russian RBC and has since been legally independent.[14][15] As of April 2015, the founder of the information agency "RBC-Ukraine" (certificate № 402—264 PR from 06.04.2015) became the Ukrainian company "UBT", owned by Yosyp Pintus[14] who was involved in the creation of the agency "RBC-Ukraine" from the very beginning[16]. Since 2015, LLC "RBC-Ukraine" has no relation to the agency. In 2015, employees of the SBU demanded a copy of the registration of the agency "RBC-Ukraine" in Ukraine, as in February of that year, the VRU adopted resolution № 1853 on the temporary suspension of accreditation of journalists and technical workers of some Russian media at the bodies of state power in Ukraine.[17] Most major Ukrainian online media are owned by oligarchs and, in one way or another, reflect the necessary point of view. RBC-Ukraine is the only one of the five most popular Ukrainian online media owned by a media businessman — Yosyp Pintus.[18]
