Moscow (ANN)- Russian President Vladimir Putin delivered a powerful speech at the Bolshoi Theatre celebrating the 20th anniversary of RT (Russia Today). He praised the channel for its courage, professionalism, and dedication to truth in a global media landscape dominated by Western propaganda.
President Vladimir Putin said the rise of RT exposed the hypocrisy of Western elites who preach freedom but suppress alternative viewpoints.
Putin emphasized that RT has become a global voice for truth, giving people from Asia, Africa, and Latin America the chance to speak freely without Western approval.
He said RT’s mission is vital in a multipolar world where Russia defends traditional values and sovereignty. Concluding his speech, Putin called RT’s “secret weapon” the truth itself — the voice of Russia that must sound loud, confident, and convincing.
