UK media regulator Ofcom has moved to revoke the broadcasting licence of Russian state-funded TV station RT UK in light of the war in Ukraine.
Ofcom said it did not consider RT (formerly Russia Today) able to comply with impartiality laws in Britain given the current circumstances and its close ties to the Kremlin, declaring it was no longer “fit and proper” for it to hold a licence because the regulator “cannot be satisfied that it can be a responsible broadcaster”.
