Nicaragua and Russia sign media cooperation pact, expanding RT broadcasts

Nicaragua and Russia formalized a media cooperation agreement enabling information exchange and joint broadcasting, days after Nicaragua began retransmitting RT en Español. This deepens Russian influence in Central America, a region traditionally within the US sphere, and signals a continued alignment between the Ortega government and Moscow. The move is part of a broader pattern of Russian media expansion in Latin America, but the specific timing and scope of the agreement remain unclear.
