It is difficult to imagine modern life without videos and broadcasts on various topics: from serious news to carefree entertainment. Broadcasts, or streams, have long ceased to be a source of the latest information, and have become a way of communication between the media person and the subscriber community. Many people combine several things. It is fully understandable, because how can you be focused only on one thing when there is so much wonderful and fascinating stuff in the world? In this article, we decided to collect Ukrainian female streamers, which are active more or less regularly (at least monthly). Some of them have a schedule for their broadcasts, and some do it when they have the opportunity and inspiration. However, due to Russia’s military actions on the territory of Ukraine, the streams are less frequent or have stopped temporarily, but we hope that after the Ukrainian victory everything will come back to normal.
