(MENAFN) In response to European Union sanctions targeting several Russian media organizations, Moscow announced on June 30 that it will enforce counter-restrictions against 15 media outlets from EU member states operating within Russia.

The Russian Foreign Ministry stated that this move is a direct reaction to the EU’s February decision, which imposed restrictions on eight Russian publications and information channels as part of its 16th sanctions package.

According to the ministry, the banned EU media outlets are accused of spreading disinformation. The statement also noted that if the EU lifts its sanctions on Russian media, Russia will reconsider and potentially reverse its own restrictions on European outlets.
