A Melbourne community radio station has cut ties with a volunteer Russian-language broadcaster after complaints that his program was promoting war propaganda amid the invasion of Ukraine.
The program on 3ZZZ broadcast pro-Kremlin information about the war in Ukraine, including a speech by Russian president Vladimir Putin where he claimed the war was justified because of the need to “demilitarise and de-Nazify Ukraine”. The program had a one-hour slot on Wednesdays and Fridays.
