Lithuania has extended its ban on the broadcast of Russian and Belarusian channels for as long as the two countries are considered a threat, LRT reported.
The Lithuanian parliament's Committee on Culture extended the resolution, which was set to expire on Oct. 1.
"Not to come back to this provision every time and not to prolong this ban, we agreed that we will simply rely on the National Security Strategy, which was approved by the Seimas (Lithuanian parliament - ed.) and in which Russia and Belarus are indicated as countries that pose a danger and a threat to national security,” Culture Minister Simonas Kairys said.
“This ban will remain in force for as long as this threat is marked in this strategy."
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
