Telegram has (partially) banned RT from platform after pressures from Europe.

Europe’s sanctions require RT to be removed from television broadcasts, video-sharing platforms, internet service providers and some of other digital networks due to sharing misinformation by Moscow.

Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and TikTok all blocked Russia’s RT, and its channels in English, Spanish, French and German, off their platforms after the European Union imposed sanctions on the Kremlin-backed media network.

"The rules are clear. There cannot be any circumvention," said Věra Jourová, the European Commission’s vice president.

The ban currently applied to only people who had signed into Telegram with an EU-based phone number.
