“There will be no repeal of the law on foreign agents,” she wrote.
According to the diplomat, if this law is canceled, the Western partners "will have a complete sense of impunity both in pressure on the Russian media abroad and in participation in political life through their agents of influence" in Russia.
Earlier, Zakharova commented on the open appeal of a number of Russian media outlets to the authorities demanding the abolition of laws on foreign agents and an end to pressure on journalists.
The press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov said that the Kremlin will consider an appeal in which it is proposed to add the media to the list of foreign agents on the proposal of the Ministry of Justice exclusively in court.
