Russia announces ban on 81 E.U. media outlets, including Der Spiegel and Politico

Russia’s Foreign Ministry has announced it will block domestic access to 81 E.U.-based media outlets in retaliation for a new E.U. ban on four Kremlin-backed outlets that went into effect on Tuesday.

The ministry claimed that the 81 outlets “systematically disseminate false information about the progress of the special military operation.” It said it will reconsider the ban if the E.U. lifts its ban on the Russian state news agency RIA Novosti and newspapers Izvestia and Rossiyskaya Gazeta.

The list of banned outlets includes news publications, TV channels, and radio stations from all but two E.U. countries — Luxembourg and Croatia. The list includes prominent outlets like Politico (both its European and American editions), Germany’s Der Spiegel, and France’s Le Monde, among others.
