Language:Russian
Launch Date:August 8, 2014

Oplot TV (Russian: Оплот ТВ) is a television channel created in 2014 in the context of the Russo-Ukrainian war and the creation of the Donetsk People's Republic, currently one of the Russian-occupied territories of Ukraine. The channel specializes mainly in news and information content.

The name Oplot is taken from a separatist social movement, "Oplot of Donbas".[1]

History

Oplot TV started broadcasting on August 8, 2014. Until 2018, Ismail Abdullaiev was its director.[2] The channel replaced Donbas TV and absorbed some of its senior technical staff, who were aiding Russian propaganda in the process.[3] Abdullaiev restarted his television career in 2022 by creating Tavria TV.[4] [5] [6]

Oplot was one of the channels hacked by Ukrainians on August 22, 2024 to air a video about the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The channel had to suspend its operations for a while.[7]
