Russia says it will respond after EU adds former RT bureau chief to sanctions list
Russia's Foreign Ministry said it would respond to what it called 'Russophobic' actions by EU countries after Brussels sanctioned Ksenia Fedorova, the former head of RT's French bureau.
Russia's Foreign Ministry has said it will respond to what it described as "Russophobic" moves by European Union countries, after the EU added Ksenia Fedorova, the former head of RT's French bureau, to its sanctions list on Thursday.
The statement, reported by Russian state news agency TASS, did not specify what form Russia's response might take or when it would be announced.
Latest in a series of EU sanctions
The sanctioning of Fedorova is the latest in a series of EU measures targeting individuals and organizations linked to Russian state media, which the bloc has previously accused of spreading disinformation related to the war in Ukraine.
Russia has repeatedly criticized EU sanctions targeting its media figures and outlets, characterizing such measures as part of a broader pattern of hostility from European governments.
The EU has not issued additional public comment on Fedorova's sanctioning beyond the listing itself, according to available reporting, and it remains unclear how Moscow's promised response will unfold in the coming days.
