I appreciate Your Excellency conceding Russian mass media has now been deprived of its alleged prior “freedom”. Why is President Putin afraid of what his own press might say about
@MOD_Russia’s spectacular failures in Ukraine against
@DefenceU @SOF_UKR?
I told you, Ms. Mensch, that until recently at least the Russian mass media demonstrated the highest standards of freedom. For example, the leading opposition media, “Echo of Moscow”, was financed by state-owned Gazprom. I can’t imagine anything like that in the U.K.
