      Russia has vowed to retaliate after Telegram blocked its state media channels in numerous countries, according to Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova. The messaging app barred access to Russian broadcasters including RIA Novosti, Izvestia, RT, Rossiyskaya Gazeta, Channel One, Rossiya 1, NTV, and more have been blocked in European countries including Poland, Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Greece, Italy, and the Czech Republic, as reported by the Kyiv Independent.

      Zakharova called it a “campaign of repressions against Russian media outlets.” Newsweek reached out to Telegram for comment on Telegram, and the Russian government for comment via email. Why It Matters Telegram’s blocking of Russian state media channels in Europe is significant because the social networking app has played a crucial role in the Russia-Ukraine war, as it is popular in both countries and has been a news source for millions. As one of the five most downloaded apps in the world, Telegram continues to be a source of news regarding the war and its escalation for millions globally, and restrictions on Russian state media may lead to changing opinions and coverage of the war as a result.

      What To Know While it is not clear if Telegram’s blocking of Russian state media channels is spread across the entirety of the EU, the channels are inaccessible in at least seven countries. Russia has not said specifically how it plans to retaliate following the ban but has said that it will “certainly respond to these and other similar attacks on Russian media outlets” and that they “reserve the right to implement symmetrical retaliatory measures.” This is not the first time Russian state media has been blocked on the continent, as the EU previously suspended the broadcasting activity of four outlets including the Voice of Europe, RIA Novosti, Izvestia and Rossiyskaya Gazeta in May.

      In the world the Russian state is presenting, the repression of the media is somehow worse than the repression of an entire nation. This is the world Russia wants, and this is the world all Russian satraps desire for. Why? Because it means they can take what they want without recourse, and they can do so without anyone being able to criticise them and hold them to account.

      Ask yourself this; is this the future you want for future generations?

      Only in their own mind is Russia a strong country. For the rest of us they’re a pathetic joke.
