ARD and ZDF temporarily suspend reporting from Moscow

A spokesman for the WDR said the two public broadcasters were examining the implications of the law. Broadcasters will continue to provide detailed information on what is happening in Russia and Ukraine from their other locations. Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday passed a number of laws restricting freedom of expression.

Following this, many international media outlets announced that they would suspend their operations in the country, in whole or in part.
