Earlier in the day, the Russian upper house’s Committee on State Sovereignty Protection noted involvement of US Russian-language media in attempts to interfere in Russia's internal affairs, Andrey Klimov, the committee's chairman, said and emphasized the unprecedented pressure of US officials on Russian media operating on US territory, mainly the RT broadcaster.
Over recent months, Russian media such as RT and the Sputnik news agency faced pressure in the United States over allegations on their role in meddling in the 2016 US presidential election. Russia has repeatedly denied the allegations, insisting that it does not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries.
