Russia Adds Novaya Gazeta Europe Newspaper To List Of 'Undesirable Organizations'
The newspaper's chief editor, Kirill Martynov, vowed that his periodical would continue its operations.

Russia has declared the Latvia-based Novaya Gazeta Europe newspaper an "undesirable" organization amid the government's ongoing crackdown on civil society and independent organizations. The Prosecutor-General's Office announced the decision on June 28, saying the newspaper publishes "false information" about Russian armed forces involved in Moscow's ongoing invasion of Ukraine. Novaya Gazeta Europe was established by Russian journalists after the Kremlin launched its full-scale aggression against Ukraine in February last year. The newspaper's chief editor, Kirill Martynov, vowed that his periodical would continue its operations.
