The troubled US agency responsible for delivering news around the world is being outgunned in Eastern Europe by Russian outlets unrestrained by notions of fact-based journalism.

The unequal competition raises fears among US officials that Moscow is winning the information war about events in Ukraine, even as the Russian economy staggers under economic sanctions imposed after the takeover of Crimea.

"Russia has engaged in a rather remarkable period of the most overt and extensive propaganda exercise that I've seen since the very height of the Cold War," US Secretary of State John Kerry told a Senate subcommittee in late February. It's "spending hugely on this vast propaganda machine", he told another panel the same day, and it's succeeding "because there's nothing countering it".

Not literally nothing. Up against Russia 24, Rossiya 1, Russia K, First Channel, Sputnik and other around-the-clock operations, are new US-sponsored Russian-language offerings including, Current Time, a newscast of just 30 minutes beamed into Eastern Europe on weekdays. The Voice of America show, co-hosted from Washington by Natasha Mozgovaya, is part of $US23.2 million ($30.6 million) in programming aimed at Russian speakers. That comparatively small sum is up 49 per cent from last year, according to Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland.
