Russia has blocked on-line entry to a number of dozen main European information shops, in what the Russian international ministry mentioned was a response to EU measures launched final month in opposition to three Russian state media shops.
The international ministry printed an inventory of 81 European information shops whose web sites would not be freely accessible from inside Russia, together with Politico, Germany’s Der Spiegel, Spain’s El País, The Irish Occasions, Italy’s La Repubblica, and France’s Le Monde.
The EU Council final month suspended the broadcasting actions of 4 Russian state media shops, saying they “unfold and help the Russian propaganda and battle of aggression in opposition to Ukraine”. The Russian international ministry on Tuesday cited three: the Ria state information company, and the Izvestia and Rossiyskaya Gazeta newspapers.
