Moscow Imposes Retaliatory Ban on 15 EU Media Outlets
(MENAFN) Moscow announced on Monday it will impose retaliatory restrictions on 15 European media organizations operating within Russia. This move follows the European Union’s recent sanctions on multiple Russian media outlets.
According to the Russian Foreign Ministry, these new restrictions are a direct response to the EU's February sanctions, which targeted eight Russian publications and media channels under the 16th sanctions package. The ministry's statement clarified, "In a countermeasure to the EU's latest restrictions on eight Russian publications and information channels approved by the EU Council as part of the so-called 16th sanctions package in February this year, the Russian side has decided to impose counter-restrictions within its territory to web resources of 15 EU member state media outlets involved in spreading disinformation."
The ministry also indicated a potential shift in stance, stating, "If these restrictions imposed on Russian media outlets and information channels are lifted, the Russian side will also revise its decision in respect of the European media outlets."
