Russia-24 (Template:Lang-ru) is a state-owned Russian-language news channel from Russia. It covers major national and international events as well as focuses on domestic issues. It is owned by VGTRK.[1][2]
History
The broadcast began January 1, 2007 in Russia, February 7 on the West Coast of the United States, May 19, 2008 in Serbia, and October 9, 2008 in Kyrgyzstan. VGTRK Crimea started broadcasting on March 10, 2014.
The editor-in-chief of the channel is Evgeny Bekasov (since 2012).
The channel aspires to give a broad and impartial [2] outline of life in all of Russia’s regions from its European exclave of Kaliningrad to Vladivostok in the Far East.
The channel was named Vesti until 1 January 2010, when the public-owned VGTRK rebranded its channels.
The channel was banned in Ukraine, the United Kingdom, and the EU as a result of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[3] The channel falsely claimed that the Bucha massacre was staged and suggested that footage of actors placing mannequins on a film set in St. Petersburg were Ukrainian soldiers using the mannequins to "pass it off as a corpse".[4]
Russia-24 and its sister channel Rossiya-1 only broadcast the political views of the Russian government. With Russia's state-affiliated TV channels playing a central role in the everyday distortion of the facts about Russia's attack on Ukraine, the European Union considered banning Russia 1 from being broadcast in Europe.[5]
