"Of course, it will all be hammered out," Zakharova said, when asked if there would be any retaliatory measures in this regard.
The sanctions extend beyond mere "listings" such as inclusion on stop lists, revocation of accreditation, broadcasting bans, or designations as foreign agents, the diplomat stated.
"This is already some kind of completely hybrid scheme, half of which is still unknown even to US users, organizations, and structures themselves," Zakharova added.
