EU wants to extend sanctions on RT

The EU is preparing to prolong sanctions imposed on RT over the Ukraine conflict, according to a 'secret' letter received by the network.

The bloc placed restrictions on RT shortly after the escalation of the Russia-Ukraine conflict in February 2022, accusing the network of "threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty, and independence of Ukraine."

A number of senior Russian officials condemned the sanctions as an act of censorship and an attempt to silence voices that undermine Western narratives.
