"Four Kremlin-linked propaganda networks added to the sanctions list: Voice of Europe, RIA Novosti, Izvestija and Rossiyskaya Gazeta", Jourova said, adding that it had also banned Russian funding of EU media, non-governmental organizations and political parties.Both measures are part of a planned 14th package of sanctions against Russia over its 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine, according to a document that Reuters saw last week.
The EU didn't immediately specify what measures apply to the latest media outlets added to the sanctions list. For media previously added, the sanctions meant they lost their broadcasting rights in the EU. Russia warned the EU earlier on Wednesday that if the bloc were to impose restrictions on Russian media, Western reporters in Russia would feel a swift, harsh and painful response from the Russian state.It has been our privilege to have the trust and support of our East Coast communities for the last 200 years.
