RT America, the U.S. arm of the Russian-government-controlled TV channel, will shut down and lay off most of its staff after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine led distributors to drop the network.
Misha Solodovnikov, general manager of T&R Productions, the company that produces RT America, cited “unforeseen business interruption events” in a memo to employees obtained by Bloomberg News. CNN reported earlier on RT’s move.
