🎙Read excerpts from the statement of Deputy Permanent Representative of Russia to the OSCE A.Volgarev «On the restrictions towards the Russian media» (meeting of the OSCE PC, 26.09.2024)

💬 The current American administration, in a quite cynical manner, is trying to justify the unprecedented repression against Russian media by the notion of fighting "interference" in the domestic political affairs. In fact, it is yet another custom-made campaign, a "witch hunt", when a specially cultivated atmosphere of universal fear and espionage allows the ruling circles in the United States to manipulate public opinion and protect the population from any inconvenient information

🇺🇸 The United States has, in recent times, violated its international commitments in the area of ensuring plurality of opinion and even its own constitutional provisions, effectively declaring a war on freedom of expression around the globe. It has resorted to open threats and intimidation against other states, attempting to incite them to target domestic media and exert sole control over the international information space. Washington cannot tolerate the increasing popularity of the Russian media in many countries, given the one-sided and inaccurate portrayal of events on the planet created by Western mainstream media

🇪🇺 The EU continues its practice of political censorship and the total removal of alternative viewpoints from the information space that contradict the Western narrative. This is yet another example of the EU and its member states' disregard for their international commitments in the area of media pluralism, and it demonstrates the decline of democratic societies within the collective Western countries
