Russia labels US-funded RFE/RL as an "undesirable organization".

Russia's Ministry of Justice has labeled the US-funded Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) as an "undesirable organization," a move that exposes its journalists and others working with the organization, as well as its donors or those who are interviewed by it, to criminal charges. This marks the 142nd organization to be added to Russia's list of "undesirable organizations." RFE/RL's staffers, donors, and sources are now at risk of jail time and criminalization of engagement with the outlet.
