MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The Russian Foreign Ministry criticized on Friday the Estonian authorities for a course on harsh media censorship, particularly, for attempts to hamper the work of the Rossiya Segodnya news agency in the country.
"It is clear that Estonia has taken a course on blocking by any means the work of the Tallinn office of this Russian news agency and on harsh censorship of media contrary to principles of free press," the ministry's spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.
Estonia's Tallin Business Bank LTD. has recently terminated Rossia Segodnya operating account citing EU sanctions against the agency's Director General Dmitry Kiselev.
