The decision of the Russian government to shut down the German broadcaster Deutsche Welle is unfounded and puts a strain on German-Russian relations, the German Foreign Ministry announced today.
“The measures announced today by the Russian government against Deutsche Welle have no basis and are causing new tensions in German-Russian relations,” a ministry spokesman said in a statement.
The decision to close Deutsche Welle in Russia, announced today by the Russian Foreign Ministry, was in response to Berlin’s decision to ban broadcasting on the Russian broadcaster RT DE, as it did not have the required operating license from its regulator. Germany.
The German Foreign Ministry has said it rejects the comparison between Deutsche Welle and RT DE.
“If these measures are really implemented, it will restrict the free information of independent journalists in Russia, which is especially important in times of political tension,” he added.
