 The United States government has accused Moscow of cracking down on media and made Russia's war on Ukraine. In a statement, the U.S. State Department spokesperson Ned Price said the Kremlin is engaged in a full assault on media freedom and the truth, and Moscow's efforts to mislead and suppress the truth of the brutal invasion are intensifying. Earlier in the week, the Russian prosecutor general Zafrizaks media regulated to restrict access to the website of Kremlin critical radio station Echo Moskiv or Echo of Moscow. Authorities had previously accused Echo and other critical media of spreading false information about Russia's attack of Ukraine.
