The socio-political talk show Novyi vidlik (“New Countdown”)  airs live every Thursday at 21:00 on Pershyi TV channel, Ukrainske Radio, and the Pershyi YouTube page.

Novyi vidlik is a platform for constructive discussion about Ukraine’s future. Experts invited to the studio analyze the week’s key events.

The hosts — Andrii Dikhtiarenko and Vlasta Lazur — moderate the discussions, ensure they stay within the boundaries of journalistic standards, and take an active part in the debates themselves.

Each live broadcast of Novyi vidlik with Andrii Dikhtiarenko and Vlasta Lazur is monitored by fact-checking experts from VoxCheck. Analysts from the Vox Ukraine platform track the show’s live discussions for any manipulation or misinformation voiced by guests.
