U.S. hits Russian state media with sanctions for raising money for Moscow’s troops in Ukraine

LA Times  

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken speaks during a news conference with Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski in Warsaw, Poland, on Thursday. Instead, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Friday, RT is a key part of Russia’s war machine and its efforts to undermine its democratic adversaries. RT’s actions show “it’s not just a firehouse of disinformation, but a fully-fledged member of the intelligence apparatus and operation of the Russian government,” said Jamie Rubin, who heads the State Department’s Global Engagement Center. Russian President Vladimir Putin’s spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said that the allegations were “nonsense.” RT is “media” and “quite effective,” Peskov said. The sanctions announced Friday target RT’s parent organization, TV-Novosti, as well as a related state media group called Rossiya Segodnya and its general director Dmitry Kiselyov.
