Additional information:

The Russian Prosecutor General has designated Polish TV Channel Belsat as 'undesirable'. According to the prosecutor's office, the channel broadcast 'clichés which benefit the West' to its Russian and Belarusian audience, and created 'supposedly unbiased and independent materials, which in fact pushed false narratives about unjustified aggression against Ukraine, while also claiming that the transformation of Crimea, DPR, LNR and Zaporizhia and Kherson into states of the Russian Federation was illegitimate.'
