Netflix says it won't air state TV channels in Russia

Netflix is refusing to air Russian state TV channels in the country

Netflix is refusing to air Russian state TV channels in the country — something that the streamer would have been required to do by Russian law starting this week.

"Given the current situation, we have no plans to add these channels to our service," Qazet.az reports.

The news comes a week after Russia launched a military assault on Ukraine. The invasion has been condemned by many nations around the world and sparked a series of crippling economic sanctions targeting the Russian economy.
