On 31 August 2017, the Ukrainian-language Nickelodeon block ended after the close-down of QTV.

On 1 June 2023, 1+1 Media Group and Paramount Global announced that Nickelodeon had become available for viewers to watch in Ukrainian, after a Ukrainian audio track was added to Nickelodeon Global.[1]

Due to the addition of a Ukrainian audio track to Nickelodeon CEE, Nickelodeon Ukraine on Pluto TV closed on 30 June 2023.[3]
