Russian news turned off in Moldova

19 июня 2022
Russian news programs have been banned in Moldova. The relevant law has been signed by the country's President. The document will be officially published next Friday, after which it will come into force. According to the Moldovan Television and Radio Council, it establishes the concept of disinformation, which implies much harsher sanctions. If proven, the companies will be deprived of their licenses for seven years. Kishinev explains the adoption of such harsh measures by the situation in neighboring Ukraine. Earlier, the Moldovan parliament passed a law banning the re-broadcasting of news and analytical programs and military films from Russia.
