'Pionerskaya Pravda' stops publishing because of money problems.

The children's newspaper 'Pionerskaya Pravda' has stopped printing. The editor says the newspaper lost its funding from the United States. He said the newspaper survived many challenges in the past but could not survive without the US money.

Some people are confused because they thought the newspaper was run by Russia. It seems the newspaper received a lot of money from the US for many years. Reports say the newspaper got millions of dollars every year and even paid pensions to its writers.

The group that represents journalists in Russia offered to help the newspaper. They said they could help find new sponsors or raise money on television. But the editor of the newspaper said no to the offer without saying why.

Many people are sad to see the newspaper go. It was a big part of their lives growing up. They remember reading its stories and participating in its contests.

It's unclear what will happen next. But for now, 'Pionerskaya Pravda' is closed. Hopefully, it can find a way to come back in the future.
