Two independent Russian news outlets that refused to spout the Kremlin's talking points following President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine were forced off the air this week.
, forcing citizens to rely on state-run media that won’t even use the term"war" to describe the ongoing attack.
Russian authorities accused Ekho Moskvy, one of the country’s oldest radio stations, and Dozhd, Russia’s top independent TV channel which is also known as TV Rain, of"false information regarding the actions of Russian military personnel as part of a special operation" in Ukraine.
"The Kremlin, right now, is engaged in a full assault on media, freedom and the truth," Psaki said Thursday. Hoffman feels Russia’s steps are making it more difficult, but not impossible, for citizens to learn what’s really happening in Ukraine, but they might have to rely in the internet. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and spokesperson Ned Price have both appeared on Dozhd in the last two weeks, which is an indication of the now-banned outlet’s importance to providing accurate information to Russians. On Tuesday, Price appeared on Dozhd and criticized Russian authorities' move shuttering the outlet.
