MOSCOW, July 1 (Xinhua/GNA) — Moscow has decided to impose reciprocal restrictions on 15 European media outlets, operating in Russia, in response to
EU sanctions against several Russian media outlets, the Russian Foreign Ministry said Monday.
“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 said in a statement.
“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,” the ministry added.
