RT на русском

RT на русском is the Russian-language channel of RT, a broadcaster funded by the Russian state. It posts reports, live coverage and its own pick of the most-discussed events inside Russia and around the world, including footage gathered on the ground.

That context is worth keeping in view: as state-funded media, its editorial line reflects that of the government backing it, something no outlet, public or private, is entirely free of. That's not a reason to dismiss it, but a reason to read it in context.

The practical advice is the same as for any source on sensitive topics: cross-check what matters against outlets of a different orientation before treating it as settled. Comparing several versions of the same event usually gets you closer to what actually happened than trusting any single one.
