Broadcasting of Russian channels ORT, NTV and RTR to Belarus was stopped this morning. The website of the Belarusian state TV Company informs that broadcasting of the Russian channels was stopped because of “preventive maintenance”. At the same time, the websites of the TV companies do not inform about any preventive maintenance, but on the contrary, a programme schedule for October 13 is found there.
A press-conference of Sergei Naryshkin, head of the Administration of the President of Russia, with representatives of Belarusian mass media dedicated to the topic of “the current situation in Belarusian-Russian relations” is planned for today in the Kremlin.
