Zakharova Accuses West of Global Media Control at OANA Forum

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, speaking at an OANA forum marking its 65th anniversary, accused Western countries of attempting to control the media sphere both domestically and abroad. She framed the information monopoly of Western agencies as a threat, asserting the right of Asia-Pacific nations to their own voice. This rhetoric aligns with Russia's ongoing narrative against Western influence, but carries no immediate policy shift.
