‘Terrified of dissenting voices’: RT comments on new US sanctions
The news outlet will continue to work to reach audiences in every corner of the world, the deputy editor-in-chief has said | The new US sanctions against RT are further proof that Washington does not want people to hear views that diverge from the mainstream narrative, RT Deputy Editor-in-Chief Anna Belkina has said. ● The latest restrictions against the news outlet were announced by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who accused it of being “engaged in covert influence activities” and “functioning as a de facto arm of [Russian] intelligence.” Earlier this month, the US authorities also sanctioned several Russian nationals, including RT Editor-in-Chief Margarita Simonyan and three other senior RT employees, over alleged efforts to influence the upcoming US election.
