Dear Friends,
RSF revealed a few days ago that the French company Eutelsat is acting as an intermediary for the Russian war propaganda apparatus, although the French state is its biggest shareholder.
Eutelsat S.A. uses two of its satellites to broadcast several Russian TV channels in Russia, including Rossiya 1, Perviy 1 and NTV , which constantly carry disinformation and content that in effect condones war crimes and incites violence and hatred, legitimising the invasion of Ukraine and the Russian army’s crimes.
This contribution to Russian propaganda is very profitable for Eutelsat, for whom Russia is the second biggest client. Eutelsat’s Russian activities represented 6.3% of its turnover in 2020-2021 or 76 million euros.
Eutelsat must stop contributing to Kremlin propaganda by providing the means by which it is disseminated, and must stop deriving dividends from disinformation and censorship. RSF calls on the French authorities to take immediate steps to end this completely unacceptable situation.
Help us to get Eutelsat to comply with the international convention that requires respect for the right to freedom of expression and information.
