Lavrov slams Facebook’s blocking of RT accounts as pressure on Russian media


MOSCOW, February 19. /TASS/. Facebook’s move to block RT accounts is another example of pressure against Russian media, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Tuesday after talks with his Slovakian counterpart and OSCE Chairperson-in-Office Miroslav Lajcak.

"I think there is no doubt that this is another example of pressure against Russian media and the freedom of speech. This is regrettable," Lavrov said.
