Radio Management Free Europe (RSE) announced that the U.S. government extinguished the satellite that passed the program in Russia in Russia.
RSE / RL, established during the Cold War to counter the US Soviet propaganda, disagreeing to the policy of the new U.S. President Donald Trump, decided to reduce the costs at the federal level.
This media house was disputed to the decision in court and received the temporary freezing of the decision on the abolition of finances. However, the American Greed Media Agency (USAGM) has not yet approved those funds.
“Today we arrived at work and saw that the USAG was prevented by the satellite services that came to Russia,” he said for AFP Stephen Stephen Capus, General Director of RSE / RL based in Prague, Beta.
This decision applies to the 24-hour broadcasting of TV channels in the Russian language “Current Time” in Russia, Ukraine, Central Asia, Eastern Europe and other regions.
“Usagm informed the RSE that the Current Time satellite traffic agreements in Europe terminate,” Capus said.
RSE / RL reaches up to 50 million people in countries with authoritarian regimes such as Belarus, China, Iran and Russia, trying to oppose the official propaganda.
The RSE / RL sent many members of their staff on the absence with a reduced salary, in expectation of approval of 77 million dollars required to continue working by October.
“I don’t think there’s a doubt that the Trump administration would like to close us. I think it’s pretty clear,” Capus pointed out.
Funding to finance occurs when the Tramp strives to strengthen the connections with Moscow, to ensure the ceasefire in the Ukrainian war that Moscow has launched in February 2022. years.
