Latvia bans Russian broadcaster RT over ties to Kremlin media executive
Latvia’s media watchdog took the Russian broadcaster RT off-air, calling its channels “propaganda” and citing its ties to EU-sanctioned Russian media executive Dmitry Kiselyov. The regulator said RT had tried to portray Latvia as a failed country and that Latvia’s security services saw RT as the most influential Russian propaganda channel in the west of Europe.
