On March 30, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) rejected a request by Kremlin-controlled Russian broadcaster RT to temporarily lift a ban on French-language broadcasting, which was imposed after Moscow launched an invasion of Ukraine.
"With today's order, the president of the court rejects RT France's request for temporary measures," the European Court announced, adding that the final judgment will be issued later.
On March 1, the European Union suspended the broadcasting of some Russian media controlled by the Kremlin, including RT.
European media regulators have questioned RT's impartiality in its coverage of the Russian invasion of Ukraine since it was launched on February 24.
Launched in 2005 as Russia Today, the state-funded RT has continuously expanded its broadcasts and website in numerous languages, including English, French, Spanish and Arabic.
The channel is banned in several countries, including the former Soviet republics of Lithuania and Latvia.
In the United States of America (USA), he was required to register as a foreign agent, and the British authorities revoked his broadcasting license.
