🇷🇺🇪🇺 An "umpteenth act of political censorship": Moscow responds to EU blocking Russian media's Telegram channels
These include RT and RIA Novosti, the latter being a member of the Rossiya Segodnya media group, to which Sputnik also belongs.
🗣This decision by almost all EU members resonates as a "consolidation of their policy of suppressing any hotbed of dissent," says Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova.
Zakharova pointed out that this move "contradicts all [the West's] international obligations to guarantee free access to information and media pluralism".
In doing so, the West is seeking to "replace the objective picture of the world with a simulation of reality produced by the mainstream media and social networks controlled by the ruling elites".
The Russian diplomat called on international organizations to give an assessment of these actions, indicating that they will not go unanswered.
