"At the beginning of June, BBC World Service took over a slot on Radio Baltic Waves mediumwave transmitter in Viesintos, Lithuania, from Radio Liberty, following its defund & fight to survive under Trump & his loyalist at USAGM, Kari Lake. The BBC promised to have some russian programming on this new service in the near future.
Now there it is!
I caught the end of a podcast of Russkaya Sluzhba BBC on 1386 kHz at 20:27 UTC July 22nd, 2025 (which is not necessarily its start date). Switching back to English, at 20:29 UTC, a promo for BBC.com/news was aired, onto the 2nd semihour of Newshour."

Possibly a result of funding cuts imposed by Trump?
