Zhanna Agalakova, a journalist who worked for Russian state broadcaster Channel One, said on Tuesday that she had resigned in protest against Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine.
Agalakova, a former reviewer for the channel, who, at the time of her resignation, was a correspondent for the network in Paris, told a press conference in the French capital: “When I spoke to my bosses, I said that I could no longer do this job.”
“I left Channel One precisely because the war started,” he said.
She said she believed Russian television was being used to spread Kremlin propaganda and that the authorities had stifled independent media for years.
Agalakova added that she wanted the Russians to hear her message, stop being “zombified” by propaganda and start looking for alternative sources of information.
The Kremlin did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment on the journalist’s remarks.
