“The blocking of RT France accounts will lead to retaliatory measures against French media in Russia,” the Foreign Ministry told RIA Novosti.

The measures will be such that they will be remembered if Paris does not stop terrorizing Russian journalists, Moscow stressed.

RT France in France was blocked at the request of the General Directorate of the Treasury under the Ministry of Economy and Finance of the country.

The head of RT France, Ksenia Fedorova, said that the very fact of the existence of the TV channel haunted the authorities.

The Russian embassy in Paris said that the main losers in this situation are residents of France and other French-speaking countries.

They noted that the blocking of accounts goes beyond the restrictive measures imposed by the European Union against Russia, which do not apply to RT France.
