The Freedom of Speech is one of the first socio-political talk shows in Ukrainian television history, providing a platform for open public discourse. It has become a central venue for political debate and civic engagement, regularly featuring politicians, experts, journalists, and members of the public in discussions on current national and international issues. The program has earned a reputation as a key source of political commentary and analysis, and it is widely recognized as one of the most frequently cited television broadcasts in Ukraine. Its live format encourages spontaneous and often vigorous exchanges, reflecting a broad spectrum of viewpoints. The current presenter of the program is Vadym Karpyak. After the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the show "took a little rest," but went back on the air within the year.
