Russia shuts down Deutsche Welle in response to RT being blocked in Germany
The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that the German international broadcaster Deutsche Welle would cease operations in the country and a procedure will be initiated to recognise it as a foreign agent. In addition, people involved in restricting the broadcasting of RT DE will be banned from entering Russia. DW has defined the decision by the Russian authorities as an “overreaction” while the German MFA said the measures represent a new tension for German-Russian relations.
