Australian satellite operator Foxtel has suspended the broadcasting of the Russian RT television channel in the country, the channel reported.
“Due to concerns about the situation in Ukraine, Foxtel is suspending the channel’s broadcasts as part of the Foxtel and FLASH services,” Foxtel said (quoted from RT).
Earlier, against the background of the military operation of Russian troops in Ukraine, the broadcasting of a number of Russian TV channels, including RT, was banned in Poland. RT editor-in-chief Margarita Simonyan fell under EU sanctions.
On the morning of February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a military operation in Ukraine. Western countries called the actions of the Russian authorities a violation of the UN Charter and demanded the withdrawal of troops.
