“Twitter is not the only success story of RT en Español.
On Facebook, he has more than 18 million subscribers ... Before blocking on YouTube, the Spanish channel had 5.9 million, and the English channel had 4.65 million, ”Simonyan quotes the text of one of the El Pais articles.
According to the publication, “despite official restrictions in Europe or the suspension of his YouTube channels, the Russian voice continues to seep through the cracks left by the platforms as best it can.”
The Associated Press emphasizes that one of the factors behind RT's success lies in developing its own network and building this community.
“I love these tantrums.
Well done, team,” wrote Simonyan.
Earlier, the editor-in-chief of RT said that the decision of the European Union to ban the work of RT in the EU shows what the vaunted European democracy is worth.
On February 27, the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, announced that the EU would ban the work of Sputnik and RT, as well as their subsidiaries.
