Quotes

A former leading employee of the Russian propaganda channel Sputnik, Marats Kasems (Marats Kasems in Latvian), has decided not to return to Russia after his release from detention...

"I had an editorial office whose main goal was to destabilize the situation in Lithuania. By the way, I was not so closely connected with Latvia," he says.
