All DW's staff have lost their press accreditations and the channel is barred from broadcasting in Russia.
Russia argued it was retaliating after German regulators decided a new Russian state-run TV channel, RT DE, did not have a suitable licence to operate.
RT has channels in English, French and Spanish and launched its German-language satellite channel in December 2021, using a licence from Serbia, outside the European Union.
Russia's foreign ministry said it was also launching a procedure to label Deutsche Welle as a foreign agent...
RT has faced difficulties with its English-language channel too. It was fined £200,000 by UK regulator Ofcom for failing to "preserve due impartiality".

Starting to look a lot like 1941.
Germans might want to think about invading a little earlier in the year this time.

They might want a ‘slightly’ larger military than present with only one or two operable tanks ...
I also would suggest packing some winter clothing this time.
Let’s see what the impotent Germans do about this. Decertify Russian press Germany?
Lol...British state run media says what?
“failing to “preserve due impartiality””
That is exactly why all US mass media is permanently banned in my house.
The notion that Western media is “impartial” is wildly insane—and accusations that another country’s media is not impartial is the pot calling the kettle black.
It was a reciprocal action after Germany has banned RT. It is worth mentioning that RT is the 4th most-watched channel in Germany.
“RT has channels in English, French and Spanish and launched its German-language satellite channel in December 2021”
If the German media is anything like the US media, I’m surprised it took Russia a month to shut them down. They don’t put up with crap like we do.
The same conglomerates own all the British and US media.
Russian Troll.
Where do you live in Russia?
“It was a reciprocal action after Germany has banned RT. It is worth mentioning that RT is the 4th most-watched channel in Germany.”
I’m switching over to RT America right now. Its channel 280 on Dish TV.
I’m doing it because the little tough talking war hawk just showed up. Might even pour my self a ‘Stoli on the rocks’ for the occasion.
Given state-ownership, while or in part, by so many of the "big brand" news these days, it seems we are watching the same-old-same-old as interests collide across national borders.
When living in Germany our mandatory "fee" was required to fund state-owned news. While in Britain the "Beeb" tax was collected. One only need survey the ownership of most of the "brand name" news in the US as well to find relatively few players atop the system.
It's amusing to observe the flap between German and Russian media, given an underlying fact that German chancellors -- plural -- have steered Germany to become dependent on Russian natural gas.
Ah, the tangled webs we weave....
DW in Russia is a Lord Haw-haw type of propaganda.

The truth hurts.
I almost feel your butt hurt.
Russia is perfectly within their rights to do this. The Germans likewise.
Tempest in a teapot.
Someone who freely admits being a Russian is not a troll. Trolls are people who pretend to be something else in order to push propaganda under a false pretext.
NV says he’s Russian but he’s not a troll.
I still disagree with him.
