“We have received a letter from our bank regarding the freezing of RT France accounts by order of the French authorities in connection with the ninth round of sanctions adopted in December.
Despite the fact that RT France is not on the list and has the right to operate in France, such a decision effectively paralyzes our activities.
Obviously, the very fact of our existence did not give rest to the authorities, ”Fyodorova noted.
The Council of the EU has previously initiated the process of suspending the broadcasting licenses of the Russian TV channels NTV, REN TV, Rossiya 1 and Channel One.
In addition, the EU, as part of the ninth package of restrictions, imposed sanctions on the autonomous non-profit organization TV-Novosti.
The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, commenting on the situation, said that the hunt for Russian media in the European Union is a gross violation of the principles of freedom of speech and is clearly discriminatory.
