VLADIVOSTOK, Russia (Sputnik) - The Russian Foreign Ministry is going over the US sanctions against the Rossiya Segodnya media group with a fine tooth-comb to put together tit-for-tat measures, the diplomatic agency’s spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told Sputnik.
On Wednesday, the United States imposed sanctions against the Rossiya Segodnya media group, RIA Novosti, RT, Sputnik, and Ruptly. The new sanctions also affected the editor-in-chief of the Rossiya Segodnya and RT media group, Margarita Simonyan.
"Now, we will try to study this issue, then we will react," Zakharova said on the sidelines of the Eastern Economic Forum (EEF).
"All Western media outlets have plunged into a fit of paranoia": Margarita Simonyan, editor-in-chief of Sputnik's parent media group, Rossiya Segodnya, on Washington’s sanctions against Russian media.
