Conservative Nadine Dorris called on media regulator Ofcom to take “timely” action against the channel. She fears that he “will spread malicious disinformation.”
At the same time, Labor leader Kir Starmer demanded that the decision to issue a broadcasting license be reviewed. According to Boris Johnson, this will be done:
“UK Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sports Nadine Dorris has sent a request to Ofcom asking for a re-examination of the issue of RT’s broadcast license.”
The publication of EU sanctions against Russia for recognizing the republics of Donbass is expected today after 17:00 Moscow time. The new package will also include sanctions against the media sector, according to the European External Action Service.
Earlier, the United States, the UK and some other countries have already announced their measures.
