According to her, someone in the United States should ensure that the sanctions imposed by the United States against the Russian Federation are at least not repeated. “Otherwise, we will move on to the second round with RT,” Zakharova wrote on Telegram.
“I think that a new profession should emerge in the United States – that of a specialist in sanctions imposed against Russia,” said the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Blinken has previously said that RT allegedly interfered in the sovereign affairs of foreign countries and was involved in “covert operations,” which he said involved information and influence. At the same time, the US Secretary of State called on Washington’s allies to “start treating RT’s activities like any other Russian intelligence activity.” According to the American, the US, UK and Canada are launching a “diplomatic campaign” against RT.
“One of the reasons why most of the world is not as supportive of Ukraine as one might think is because of RT’s wide reach and sphere of influence,” he complained.
The Secretary of State also announced the addition to the U.S. sanctions lists of three legal entities and two individuals who allegedly participated in such “covert operations.”
“I propose treating Blinken’s actions as a blockchain,” said Maria Zakharova.
