On August 28, 2026, Belarusian state television channel First Informational claimed its employees had spent several years working as freelancers for Current Time, the Russian-language TV and digital network co-run by Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and Voice of America. Earlier in the month, on August 5, Voice of America decided to resume its Ukrainian broadcasts and bring some Ukrainian editorial staff back to work, with head Ruslan Petrychka indicating journalists were preparing for their first broadcasts the following week. This decision followed President Donald Trump’s nominee to oversee VOA's parent agency stating on July 30 that she would reinstate many journalists placed on paid leave since the early weeks of Trump's second term, if confirmed by the Senate. These previous actions had prompted a "sense of betrayal" among veteran journalists, with some, like Danila Galperovich, leaving international newsrooms at VOA for other employment due to the cuts.
