Russia declares DW News an 'undesirable organization'

Russia has labeled DW, Germany's international broadcaster, an "undesirable organization," just like Radio Free Europe, Bellingcat, Reporters Without Borders, and TV Rain. In Russia, cooperating with "undesirable organizations" is a criminal offense subject to heavy fines and, in severe cases, imprisonment.

Respect, DW. If Russia labels anyone as a foreign agent, they should view it as a badge of honor. It means they are presenting quality news.
