Voice of America (VOA) on Wednesday said it is refusing to comply with the requests of Russian officials after they allegedly threatened to block their Russian-language website in the country unless it removes coverage of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
VOA, the state-owned international radio broadcaster of the United States, said in a statement that the Russian government’s media regulator, Roskomnadzor, claimed that VOA’s news site in Russia, www.golosameriki.com, “contains false messages about terrorist attacks or other kind [sic] of information of public concern.”
