Moscow swears revenge
End of Russian media on Telegram in the EU

The spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry condemned the "constant campaign of repression against Russian media in almost all countries of the European Union" on Sunday as "censorship".

On Sunday, the online presences of the news agency Ria Novosti, the television channels Rossiya 1, Pervy Kanal and NTV as well as the newspapers "Izvestiya" and "Rossiyskaya Gazeta" were inaccessible in several countries, including France, Belgium, Poland, Greece, the Netherlands and Italy, according to media reports. Neither Telegram nor EU circles have yet commented on the interruption.
Tensions between the EU and Russia intensified following the start of Moscow's all-out war of aggression against Ukraine in 2022.

The EU had previously sanctioned Russian state media that Brussels accused of spreading pro-regime propaganda, including Ria Novosti, "Izvestia" and "Rossiyskaya Gazeta".
