My understanding is that many people.in Russia are quite dependent on Russian state satellite TV for access to News amd Information.Prior to the war #Eutelsat facilitated transmission of major #Russian #SatelliteTV services but have reduced their involvement. I always wondered why more #Independent and #International #news and #entertainment programming wasn't made available to #russian residents. I know there isn't ahuge commercial opportunity considering the type of broadcast. But content rights for Russia must be very cheap now and the value of such a service huge.

What a great idea ! Let's allocate €100m out of the EU budget to transmitting TV into the country that has declared its desire to invade about half of our member states ! All the way to Paris was Lavryov's (sp?) last speech.

Or on the other hand we could allocate that money to another 50 HIMARS or some patriots to stop the missles bombing hospitals, childcare centres and schools.

I vote for dead orcs over entertaining orcs.
