Radio Ukraine International is on a new schedule from December 12-13 (all times UT).
21:00-21:08 daily Romanian [new on 1386 kHz] (formerly 20:00-20:08 online and satellite only)
21:08-21:20 Sun-Fri Romanian [new on 1386 kHz] (formerly 20:08-20:20 Sun-Fri online and satellite only)
22:00-22:08 daily Belarusian
23:00-23:08 daily Polish
00:00-00:08 daily Bulgarian [new on 1386 kHz] (formerly 20:20-20:28 online and satellite only, though irregularly on MW at 03:00-03:08)
01:00-01:16 Wed/Fri/Sat/Sun English
02:00-02:08 daily Slovak (formerly 03:00-03:08)
03:00-03:08 daily Hungarian [back on 1386 kHz] (formerly 04:00-04:08; Oct 29 – Dec 12 online and satellite only)
All other time slots between 21:00 and 03:30 UT are filled with relay of Ukrainian Radio’s 1st channel in Ukrainian.
Overall, the schedule looks more logical now. Anyway, I don’t understand who would listen to them late at night or very early in the morning.
There is also information that RUI has been dropped from satellite Astra 4A, being replaced by the 5th Channel of Ukrainian Radio (retro music station ‘Radio Tochka’ launched in August 2023), which is just another strange decision (maybe temporary) made by the Ukrainian Radio.
