The Government of Russia announced on Monday new restrictions against a fortnight of media from countries of the European Union in retaliation for similar sanctions against the Russian press in February this year.
“The Russian part has decided to introduce counteracts to access from Russia to the fifteen media website of the member states of the block involved in the dissemination of false information,” said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in which no more details enters.
Moscow has remarked that during all this time they have referred to Brussels repeatedly that the “unjustified prohibitions and restrictions” against the Russian media “will not remain unanswered.”
“The responsibility of these events falls exclusively in the European Union,” says Moscow, which shaves the block that is decided by these “illegal” measures, which involve an attack on “media pluralism” and “freedom of access to information.”
In that sense, Russia advances that it will reconsider to reverse in case the European Union reverts the restrictions that affected eight Russian media as Eurasia Daily, Level, News Fronto South Front.
