Vladimir Putin congratulated the team of the Rossiya 24 television channel on its 20th anniversary.
The message reads, in part:
“Over the past two decades, your channel has firmly established itself as one of Russia’s leading media outlets, earned the trust of a broad audience, and become a reputable source of information on major events both at home and abroad.
I am pleased that, largely thanks to the professionalism, unity, and dedication of your creative team, Rossiya 24 continues to develop with confidence, embrace new broadcasting formats, and maintain the highest standards of journalism. I would also like to highlight the channel’s important role in strengthening Russia’s unified information space and supporting the effective work of regional state television and radio broadcasters.
I am confident that you will continue to meet the challenges ahead, make a creative contribution to the development of Russian television journalism, and preserve and build upon its finest traditions.”
