MOSCOW — Russia’s top independent newspaper Novaya Gazeta, whose chief editor was last year awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, says it’s suspending publication until the end of Moscow’s military action in Ukraine.

“We have received another warning from Roskomnadzor,” the newspaper says, referring to Russia’s media regulator. “We are suspending publication of the newspaper on our website, on social media and in print — until the end of the ‘special operation in Ukraine.'”
