Additional information:
On 5 June 2025, the Office of the Prosecutor General designated Radio Echo GmbH, a German-registered company that operates the online publication and radio station Echo, as an ‘undesirable organisation’. The media outlet was founded by former staff of the Russian radio Ekho Moskvy, which was shut down in 2022 after Roskomnadzor blocked its broadcasts and website following the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation. This is the subject of another Platform alert.
