RT Editor-in-Chief Margarita Simonyan comments on the outlet’s future goals abroad
Simonyan claims that RT was forced to “walk the guerilla path” after being cut off from mainstream media platforms and that this has only led to an increase in its audience.
“They didn’t like us when we worked straightforwardly, then when we started working in a non-direct way, they started to dislike us much more. Why? Because our audience became even bigger,” she said.
Simonyan also suggested the West’s actions must be responded to, which includes Russia developing its social media platforms and abandoning US ones.
“We will continue to work as we did. The Motherland has not given us any orders to back down. Therefore, we are not backing down.”
