Here's an update ATR TV update from the Crimean Desk of RFE/RL's Ukrainian Service:
SIMFEROPOL, Ukraine -- The only television channel broadcasting in the Crimean Tatar language on the annexed Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea may be shut down.
Lenur Islyamov, the owner of the ATR channel, told reporters in Simferopol on March 31 that Russian media regulator Roskomnadzor has rejected several attempts by ATR to register under Russian law, citing various technicalities.
Islyamov said the deadline for registering his channel, which still holds a Ukrainian license to broadcast, is March 31.
Islyamov said his station has no plans to move from Crimea to another location in Ukraine in order to continue broadcasting.
Some 100 Crimean Tatars came to ATR's headquarters on March 31 to support it.
Activists, community leaders, and rights groups say Crimean Tatars have faced discrimination, pressure, and abuse for their opposition to Russia's illegal annexation of Crimea from Ukraine in March 2014.
Crimean Tatars make up some 10 percent of the population of Crimea.
Meanwhile, two combat helicopters were illegal sold by someone inside Ukraine's army, AG @GP_Ukraine says. Two. Helicopters.

Former Kyiv Police Officials Wanted Over Maidan Crackdown
Ukrainian prosecutors have added two former senior Kyiv police officials to a list of suspects wanted over a deadly crackdown on "Euromaidan" protesters in the capital in February 2014, before Viktor Yanukovych was ousted as president.
The Ukrainian Prosecutor General's office said on March 31 that former acting Kyiv police chief Valeriy Mazan and his deputy, Petro Fedchuk, are suspected of organizing the dispersal of protesters on Kyiv's Independence Square on February 18-19, 2014.
It said that 13 people were killed and 130 injured on those dates as a result of the "unlawful" use of force.
The whereabouts of Mazan and Fedchuk are unknown.
More than 100 people, including 17 security officers, were killed during a crackdown on the pro-European protests between February 18 and 21, 2014.
Nine protesters died in the weeks that preceded the clashes.
