Cartoon Network (Russia)

Cartoon Network is a children's pay television channel in CIS & Southeast Europe which was launched on 1 October 2009, replacing the pan-European feed of Cartoon Network. Cartoon Network is available in Russian, Bulgarian, English, Serbian, Croatian, and Slovene.

This time we will focus on the Russian version, which just recently shut down on March 9, 2022, along with Boomerang and Discovery channels.

Why has it closed?

 * 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine: This is the only reason why it has closed, on February 24, 2022, an invasion between Russia and Ukraine began, so much so that some NATO nations such as the United States are sanctioning Russia, in addition to temporarily suspending some things like online services, television channels and payments in online stores, etc.

Probability of returning
It is very likely that it will return to the affected channels after the current conflict ends and Ukraine and Russia declare peace. The chances of returning are much higher than those channels that were replaced by others.

WarnerMedia stated that it will be a temporary closure.
