«In response to the decision taken by the EU Council on 17 May to ban “any television activity of three Russian media outlets (Ria Novosti, Izvestia and Rossiyskaya Gazeta), which comes into force today, 25 June, countermeasures are being introduced limiting access from the territory of the Russian Federation to the broadcasting resources of a number of media outlets of the Member States of the European Union and of European media operators who systematically spread false information about the conduct of the special military operation,” the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
