Russia denounces Moldova's ban of TV channels as 'political censorship'

Russia on Saturday denounced a decision by neighbouring Moldova to temporarily ban six television channels as "political censorship".

The small ex-Soviet state of Moldova accused the channels of airing "incorrect information" about the country and Russia's military operation in Ukraine.

The channels - some of which broadcast in Moldovan and some in Russian - are closely tied to politician and businessman Ilan Shor, who fled the country in 2019 after the election of pro-Western President Maia Sandu.
