The Russian Embassy appreciated the promise of the British Foreign Minister to protect the media

The newspaper, an excerpt from which Russian diplomats published, said that Raab had promised to "impose sanctions against the regimes" that put journalists in jail.

“Given that the Russian media in Britain are systematically accused of espionage and subjected to politically motivated pressure, the promise of Dominic Raab is somewhat self-critical,” the embassy said.

On July 5, it became known that the British Foreign Ministry did not issue accreditation to the RT channel for a conference on media freedom.

Later, a spokesman for the British Foreign Office explained that RT and Sputnik were not accredited "because of their active participation in the dissemination of misinformation."

After that, the producer of the video agency Ruptly asked former British Foreign Minister Jeremy Hunt what he thought about not allowing RT to attend the media freedom conference in London, to which he replied that “this is not about freedom” and left.
