Moscow: Moscow is raising the issue of previously imposed restrictions on the work of Russian journalists with the United States, including sanctions against the Rossiya Segodnya international media group, Russian Ambassador to the US Alexander Darchiev said.

“Of course they are being discussed. We are raising these issues,” Darchiev told reporters on Wednesday when asked whether restrictions on the work of Russian journalists are being discussed with the American side.

On September 4, the US Department of the Treasury announced sanctions against the editor-in-chief of Russia’s Rossiya Segodnya international media group and the RT broadcaster, Margarita Simonyan, and her deputies Anton Anisimov and Elizaveta Brodskaia. Deputy Director of RT’s English-Language Information Broadcasting Andrey Kiyashko, RT’s Digital Media Projects Manager Konstantin Kalashnikov, and a number of other employees of the broadcaster were also added to the sanctions list.

The US State Department, in a parallel move, tightened the operating conditions for Rossiya Segodnya and its subsidiaries, designating them as “foreign missions.” Under the Foreign Missions Act, they will be required to notify the department of all personnel working in the United States and disclose all real estate they own. Simonyan called RT’s success a reason for the suspension of its operations, adding that no one was accusing the broadcaster of spreading fake news.
