> without allowing enemy propaganda to poison gullible part of population uncontested

With all due respect but this paternalistic approach to what people should and shouldn't be allowed in knowing is a despicable point of view. Why do you think that you personally, or anyone can be sufficiently impartial to decide what's allowed?

this virtue signaling doesn't apply to times of war. call me despicable all you want, but allowing enemy in your infospace unchecked is plain dumb.

I hate to be the cynical arm chair commenter but you have to understand that most of the world is not at war with Russia at the moment.

I can understand if the Ukrainian government wants their "airwaves" clear of russian propaganda, but asking the whole world to censor them brings no benefit in my opinion. More so, Ukrainians probably can tell from their own experiences how much bullshit there's on RT, so it serves no actual purpose to do so even for them.

> most of the world is not at war with Russia

the sooner you realize that putin is at war with you - the better.
