Russia Declares Deutsche Welle Undesirable

Russia's Ministry of Justice has designated Deutsche Welle an 'undesirable organisation,' implying potential legal consequences for Russian citizens involved with the German media outlet. This move is part of Russia's regular practice of labeling entities it believes threaten national security risks.

Russia's Ministry of Justice has officially labelled the German media outlet Deutsche Welle as an 'undesirable organisation,' as per the ministry's website announcement.
