It is the sense of Congress that— Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty continues to fulfill its mission of providing reliable, uncensored, and accessible news and reporting in Ukraine and other countries where media freedom is restricted; Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty is one of the most critical sources of unrestricted, independent news and reporting for audiences on the periphery of the Russian Federation; the Government of the Russian Federation has engaged in systematic targeting of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty reporters inside the Russian Federation, which has negatively impacted the organization’s ability to provide timely, reliable, and accurate news from inside the country; and despite pressure from the Government of the Russian Federation, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty’s audience continues to grow inside the Russian Federation and surrounding countries.
There is authorized to be appropriated $155,500,000 for Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty for fiscal year 2022. Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty may explore opening new bureaus to help expand its ability to reach audiences on the periphery of the Russian Federation. To help expand its reach to Russian-speaking audiences and increase its reach to audiences through digital media, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty should— evaluate where Russian disinformation is most deeply pervasive in the Eurasia region; develop strategies to better communicate with predominately Russian-speaking regions; build on efforts to increase capacity and programming to counter disinformation in real time; expand Russian language investigative journalism; improve the technical capacity of the Ukraine bureau; and continue efforts to increase digital news services.
Not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the United States Agency for Global Media shall submit to the appropriate congressional committees, the Committee on Appropriations of the Senate, and the Committee on Appropriations of the House of Representatives a report that includes— recommendations of locations to open new bureaus to help reach new audiences in the broader Eurasia region; an assessment of current staffing and anticipated staffing needs in order to effectively reach audiences in the broader Eurasia region; and an assessment of the impact of the Government of the Russian Federation closing down Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty within the Russian Federation.
