RT does not offer "perspectives". Its sole purpose is to warp viewers' perceptions towards the position beneficial to Putin's clan without any regard for truth and objectivity.
Since the latest crackdown, the entire Russian public sphere has become performative. You have a wide variety of discussions shows, but all their guests are pre-vetted by the Kremlin and all they do is reiterate official talking points. Officials hold press conferences, but all questions and answers are pre-agreed. The country has thousands of newspapers and radio stations, but they only repeat the same central messages from the Kremlin instead of expressing the ideas of their staff and collaborators.
It is astonishing, really, how the public exchange of ideas has ceased in such a short time and how the entire society now willingly accepts a fake reality just like in Brezhnev's era.

I perceive that as not much different from the few German media I still occassionally watch. Since at least a decade, actually. And I've got grumpy about them much earlier, tossed my TV in 1996 already. But wasn't even so bad then, as it is now. Edit: I also like their "Question more!" Just for the hell of it. Yes! Question all the shit the suckpuppets are bubbling out. All the times.
