We ‘spit on sanctions’ – RT editor-in-chief

The EU’s efforts to block access to Russia’s state-affiliated media have largely failed, Bloomberg admitted

The European Union’s sanctions aimed at restricting access to Russian state-backed media outlets have not been very effective, an article by Bloomberg acknowledged on Thursday.

“The Kremlin appears to have the last laugh,” and such media outlets, including RT and Sputnik, remain readily available within the bloc through a system of mirror websites, the article reads.

“We spit on your sanctions,” RT Editor-in-Chief Margarita Simonyan said on the matter in remarks relayed by her press office to Bloomberg.
