Russia on Tuesday banned the US-funded Radio Free Europe/ Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) as an "undesirable organisation" in a move which puts its staff and contributors at risk of prosecution.
The media's name was listed on the Ministry of Justice database. It is the latest to receive the label, used by the Kremlin as part of a crackdown that has intensified since the Ukraine offensive and saw one of RFE/RL's editors jailed.
