DW will gradually close the following accounts on X by the end of the year and will no longer provide editorial support for them: @dw_balkan, @dw_brasil, @dw_croatian, @dw_conflictzone, @dw_europe, @dw_greek, @dw_hindi, @dwnews, @dw_politik, @dw_polski, @dw_shqip, @plus90 and @zapovednikshow. The respective communities will be informed in advance and directed to alternative DW digital offerings.

In countries where access to independent information is restricted, DW will continue to maintain a presence on X, including services aimed at audiences in Iran and Russia.
