He noted that two Russian media outlets work for a foreign audience - RT and Sputnik.
“Prior to this, the American side declared them foreign agents at home, deprived them of their accreditation.
At the same time, Russia Today complies with all the requirements of the American regulator and the law, is properly registered and so on, although they create quite a lot of problems with staff recruitment and financial transactions, "the Russian president said.
According to him, there are no such problems in Russia.
At the same time, he expressed regret that the American media did not fully comply with the requirements of Russian legislation.
Earlier, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said that in many Western countries, officials are not only prohibited from communicating with RT and Sputnik, but are also harassed for communicating and cooperating with the Russian media.
