Spanish daily El Mundo said Thursday that its correspondent in Russia left the country after authorities refused to renew his journalist visa. El Mundo said Xavier Colás left Russia on Wednesday, a day after an official told him that if he didn't leave before his visa expired, he would have problems.

Multiple Russian news outlets have been blocked online, labeled as “foreign agents” or outlawed as “undesirable” organizations. A number of foreign journalists have been expelled from the country, or faced the Foreign Ministry’s refusal to extend their visas.
