Donald Trump’s attempts to defund US Russian-language #counterpropaganda efforts in Ukraine, Eastern Europe, Belarus, Central Asia and Russia through #RadioFreeEurope / #RadioLiberty failed, so what they did is they actually terminated contracts with satellite companies who transmit those signals.

If you were trying to help Russia win, this would be it. #Propaganda is by far their strongest suite. In fact perhaps the only thing they are best in the world at. #NAFO

Radio Free Europe says Washington shut off its Russian broadcast despite restraining order.

Washington has switched off a satellite transmitting the US-funded Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty into Russia.

Although the station won a temporary restraining order against US President Donald Trump's funding freeze, it is still waiting to receive the $77 million it needs to keep running until October.

A #WhiteHouse plot to axe international broadcasters #RadioFreeEurope / #RadioLiberty has been foiled after presidential advisor #KariLake was forced to rescind a letter cancelling the network’s grants.

It comes just a day after a judge temporarily halted an attempt by the #Trump administration to shut down the station, claiming it would “violate the #Constitution and federal laws.”

Radio Free Europe was for decades symbol of fight against totalitarian regimes in Easter Europe and later also in other parts of the world.

(For brief time I worked for Radio Farda and helped with broadcasting free and balanced news to Iran. Good times.)

Since fascist US governement wants to end this organisation, it should be up to EU to take the lead and start with something like Radio Free America - to repay the debt of cold war.
