27 In response to Russia's military action against Ukraine, Canadian major telecom companies Shaw, Rogers, Bell and Telus announced they would no longer offer Russian state-owned channel RT (formerly Russia Today) in their channel lineups, with Rogers replacing the RT broadcast with an image of the Ukrainian flag.
