Established during the Cold War, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty broadcasts in 27 languages across 23 countries in Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and the Middle East

EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas announced that the bloc’s foreign ministers agreed to a €5.5m ($6.2m) contract aimed at supporting the broadcaster’s “vital” work. Described as “short-term emergency” aid, this funding acts as a “safety net” to preserve independent journalism, she said.

Europe is bankrolling every USAID propaganda outlet. Trumps art of the deal is amazing. He got the EU to pay for CIA created propaganda outlets.

Seems so dumb but they probably still want to use it for propaganda so that's why they decided to fund it.
