Russia blocks 81 EU media outlets in 'retaliatory' move

Russia said Tuesday it is blocking access to 81 EU media outlets as a "retaliatory measure" after Brussels last month imposed broadcasting bans on several Russian state media.

"Counter-restrictions are being introduced on the access from Russian territory of broadcast resources of media outlets from EU member states," Moscow's foreign ministry said in a statement, publishing a list of media outlets and blaming Brussels for the restrictions.
