"Inter Media Group have been granted exclusive rights to broadcast 2018 FIFA World Cup games. All matches of the most prestigious football tournament will be broadcast exclusively on Inter and NTN television channels," the press service said.

On May 11, a draft resolution was introduced to the Ukrainian parliament proposing to ban the broadcast of the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia as it "violates the legitimate rights and interests of citizens of Ukraine."

Russia will host its first-ever FIFA World Cup between June 14 and July 15 in 11 host cities.

Ukraine failed to qualify for the tournament after finishing third in their group during World Cup qualifiers.
