‘RT will soon be banned in Germany too’: Russian FM jokes at media conference ― RT News

During a series of questions asked by various media outlets, Lavrov picked on the one asked by an RT Arabic journalist addressed to Germany’s Frank-Walter Steinmeier.

“Why is Russia’s point of view and proof provided by Moscow ignored in the West?” the RT Arabic reporter asked the German minister.

Before Steinmeier had time to answer the question, Lavrov jokingly said: “Your channel will soon be banned in Germany too.”

Russia’s top diplomat was clearly referring to RT’s recent dispute with the British media regulator. This month Ofcom announced it was censuring RT citing a lack of ‘due impartiality’ on its Ukraine coverage in March this year.
