Sputnik Returns to Latvia by Adopting Dotcom Domain
Sputnik has launched a news website Sputnik Latvia available in Russian and Latvian languages within the.com domain zone due to Tuesday's decision of the Latvian authorities to ban news agency's operation in the.lv domain zone. Latvia said that the suspension was linked to Rossiya Segodnya International Information Agency Director General Dmitry Kiselev being on the EU sanctions list.

"A news agency controlled by another state has no right to engage in activities in Latvia. The foreign ministry is a state body which coordinates the sanctions regime and draws the attention of the competent authorities, if it finds a violation of the sanctions regime established by the European Union. In turn, the responsible government agencies need to decide on specific measures," Eglite told journalists.
