US sanctions Russian media for raising money for Moscow's troops in Ukraine

India Today  

The U.S. State Department announced new sanctions on Russian state media Friday, accusing a Kremlin news outlet of working hand-in-hand with the Russian military and running fundraising campaigns to pay for sniper rifles, body armour and other equipment for soldiers fighting in Ukraine. 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 Centre. The sanctions announced Friday target RT's parent organisation, TV-Novosti, as well as a related state media group called Rossiya Segodnya and its general director Dmitry Kiselyov. Russia's influence operations also appear designed to support former President Donald Trump, who has criticised Ukraine and the NATO alliance while praising Russian President Vladimir Putin.
