Espreso TV (Ukrainian: Еспресо TV) is an Internet television station in Ukraine that started to operate in November 2013. Espreso TV enabled the Euromaidan protests to be broadcast worldwide.[1][2][3][4]

The channel is owned by the media company Goldberry LLC.[5] Prior to August 2017 99% of Espreso TV belonged to Larysa Knyazhytska, the wife of Mykola Knyazhytsky.[5] In August 2017 Inna Avakova (the wife of former Minister of Internal Affairs Arsen Avakov) acquired 40% of Goldberry LLC and Arseniy Yatsenyuk (former Prime Minister) acquired 30%; the remaining 30% of Goldberry LLC stayed in the possession of Larysa Knyazhytska.[5]

On 22 January 2014, a journalist of Espreso TV Dmytro Dvoychenkov was kidnapped, beaten, and taken to an unknown location. He was later released.[6]
