In Latvia, the Dozhd TV channel (recognized as a foreign agent in Russia) was fined 10,000 euros for showing a map with Crimea as part of Russia and for calling the Russian army “ours” on the air.
The Latvian National Media Council noted that this is the second violation in recent months, after the third, the license can be cancelled.
Also today, the channel announced the dismissal of host Alexei Korostelev after his phrase about helping the Russian military. The head of Dozhd’s information service said that wording that “may give rise to doubt” in the position of the channel is unacceptable.
