Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor and noted political cartoonist, Carlos Latuff, who shares his radio log art of a recent Ukrainian Radio broadcast on mediumwave.
Carlos notes:
Ukrainian Radio AM broadcast listened in Ballycastle, Ireland.

Wokeism and Political Correctness have two clear goals, victimhood and destruction of the status quo. Let’s keep it out of Thomas’s site. Mark Pascoe.
Absolutely agree. My comment was not intended to offend anyone, to victimise anyone, or to cause political ruckus. I posted merely to point out a fact; that being that Ballycastle is part of the United Kingdom. It’s more of an advisory than anything else, and I was merely trying to point out to Carlos and the wider site regarding the error. I have a great respect for Carlo’s work; it’s certainly much better than I could do!
If I have offended anyone, please accept my apologies. Please be assured that I shall not post here again, as I would not wish to cause further offence. Thank you to Thomas for his excellent site; I will continue to enjoy this as a passive observer.
Take care everyone.
You have nothing to apologise for – Ballycastle IS part of the United Kingdom.
Carlos knows this but has decided to make his political point with the flag illustration on the map, judging from his ill-informed and biased views on his YouTube channel….
What was the exact frequency?
Just to be clear here, Ballycastle is in Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom. It is part of the island of ‘Ireland’, but it is not part of the Republic of Ireland, as depicted in his artwork. There are great political issues and sensitivities around labelling in Northern Ireland. The colours of the flag of the Republic of Ireland, as depicted in his drawing, do not represent the feeling of place of all people from Northern Ireland.
CORRECT!!!
I have got the impression that all Ukrainian mw transmitters have been off the air for some time as reported in dxguides.info Europe on Mediumwave, page 26.
If any of them had been restarted recently, they most probably would have been reported by Ydun’s mediumwave info, but that has not happened as yet.
Also, all Ukrainian transmitters I found from mwlist.org are currently reported as inactive (UR1: 657, 873, 1278 and 1404 kHz).
Despite all this, it is still possible to hear RUI via Radio Baltic Waves International on 1386 kHz, Viešintos, Lithuania 2100-0330 UTC. The frequency indicator of the radio shown in Latuff’s drawing above seems to coincide with this frequency.
Tks for the information.

Although political talk is not allowed on amateur radio, I wish peace and happiness for both the Ukrainian and Russian nations with complete neutrality and without expressing any particular opinion.

Not clear what is meant here. This was a public broadcast by Ukrainian Radio, with descriptions of multiple air raids on Ukrainian towns and cities, undoubtedly many coming from Iranian supplied Shaheed drones. No, supposed neutrality is nothing but a cowardly act here.
