Chief editor Dmitry Muratov said it was a "difficult" decision, indicating it was an effort to "save" the respected publication and avoid a total shutdown.
Russia's top independent newspaper Novaya Gazeta, whose chief editor was last year awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, said Monday it was suspending publication until the end of Moscow's military action in Ukraine.
Chief editor Dmitry Muratov said it was a "difficult" decision, indicating it was an effort to "save" the respected publication and avoid a total shutdown.
"For us and, I know, for you, this is a terrible and difficult decision. But we need to save us for each other," he said in a statement.
The announcement came more than a month into the Kremlin's military campaign in pro-Western Ukraine.
