A Russian radio station critical of the Kremlin goes off air after authorities threaten to shut it down over its coverage of the Ukraine invasion.
Officials also threatened to block Dozhd, Russia’s top independent TV channel. The Prosecutor General’s office accused the two media outlets of spreading content that incites extremist activities, as well as “false information regarding the actions of Russian military personnel as part of a special operation” in Ukraine.
Alexei Venedictov, chief editor of Ekho Moskvy, rejected the accusations, saying they “are not supported by any examples, any evidence, are unfounded and offensive to journalists and citizens of Russia.”“We see a political component in it, as well as the introduction of censorship, which is directly prohibited by the Russian Constitution,” he said.
