Russia has declared the English-language newspaper The Moscow Times an “undesirable organization.” Cooperating with the outlet can entail sentences of up to five years in prison

The Russian Prosecutor General’s Office on Wednesday banned the online newspaper The Moscow Times.

The website was blocked in Russia for allegedly discrediting the country’s military shortly after the start of Kremlin-backed invasion of Ukraine.

      One if the few newspapers left that criticized the Russian government. They operate from abroad now, and still publish online.

      Most likely not they state propaganda if they are banning it.

          That’s about 4D more complicated than Russia is capable of.
