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.
