“They no longer know what to do.

This is an attempt to silence the voice of journalists who will be afraid of these sanctions and stop doing their honest work... These actions against TV channels are a complete destruction of the principles of “democracy”, which for Americans has always been one of the foundations that they force the whole world to follow,” the deputy said.

In his opinion, the Americans are well aware that the tasks set have not been achieved.

“One of the tasks is to cause destabilization in the country and protests from the population.

For this purpose, an information war has been and is still being waged for several years.

On the other hand, the Americans did everything to present Russia as an aggressor.

And for this, all measures were taken so that our information and our opinion on any political and economic issues did not reach people living in the West ... And the Americans understand that the task that they set for themselves practically did not achieve results, moreover, that they closed the possibility of our broadcasting abroad,” added Chepa.

Earlier, the press service of the White House National Security Council reported that the United States was imposing sanctions on Russian TV channels - First, Rossiya-1 and NTV.

It is clarified that companies from the United States will no longer be able to cooperate with TV channels.
