The American branch of Russian state-funded media network Russia Today (RT) is shutting down and laying off most of its staff, CNN reports.
According to a memo, RT America will be “ceasing production” due to “unforeseen business interruption events.”
“Unfortunately, we anticipate this layoff will be permanent, meaning that this will result in the permanent separation from employment of most T&R employees at all locations,” the memo said, via CNN.
Per CNN, Misha Solodovnikov, the general manager of T&R Productions, the production company behind RT, delivered the news in person to hosts, correspondents, producers and others in the Washington, D.C. bureau. She said staff will be provided two months of paid severance.
T&R also had offices in New York, Miami and Los Angeles.
This news follows DirecTV’s announcement that it will drop RT America in light of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
