Reporters Without Borders (RSF) launches the Svoboda satellite channel. It will offer Russian-speaking access to “news programs that offer a comprehensive and objective view of global events” and contracts have been signed with satellite operator Eutelsat.
Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, independent channels have been shut down or stopped from operating in Russia.
RSF says that broadcasts should start shortly.
