US imposes sanctions against the media group "Russia Today" and Dmitry Kiselyov
[Regnum] The United States of America imposed sanctions against the media group Rossiya Segodnya and its head Dmitry Kiselyov, the US Department of the Treasury reported on September 13.
The ministry issued a general license, which requires financial transactions with the media group to be completed by November 13.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, earlier on September 13, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, speaking to the media on September 13 ahead of a briefing, publicly accused the RT television channel of allegedly conducting covert operations to interfere in the affairs of other countries.
In August, the US Treasury Department expanded anti-Russian sanctions by adding 400 individuals and legal entities in Russia and abroad to the lists. In addition, sanctions were imposed on some citizens of Belarus, Italy, Turkey, Liechtenstein and China, as well as on 46 Chinese companies.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly noted that anti-Russian sanctions have had the opposite effect. The West expected the country's economy to collapse, but it is growing and developing.
The news is being updated.

Zakharova responds to Blinken's call to treat RT as intelligence
Official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova suggested treating the actions of US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, who accused the RT television channel of conducting secret operations to interfere in the affairs of other countries, as a blockchain.
“I propose treating Blinken’s actions like a blockchain,” she wrote on her Telegram channel.
Earlier in the day, Blinken publicly accused RT of conducting covert operations to interfere in the affairs of other countries, adding that the US, UK and Canada were launching a diplomatic campaign against the network and calling for it to be treated as an intelligence agency.
The Secretary of State also announced that Washington was imposing sanctions against three legal entities and two individuals who allegedly participated in such operations, in particular, in alleged interference in Moldova's internal affairs and future elections in the country.
As reported by the news agency Regnum, on September 11, 20 Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) officers came to search an RT employee working in Miami. It was reported that the woman was not allowed to get dressed, she was beaten and searched. After the search, the agency employee was interrogated for about five hours. The woman had to leave the United States for security reasons, the Russian consul helped her buy a plane ticket, and she flew to Russia via a third country.

“Today we announce that these Kremlin-backed media outlets are not only playing a role in efforts to undermine U.S. democratic institutions, but are also interfering in the internal affairs of nations around the world,” he said.

On September 4, the United States imposed sanctions against the media group Rossiya Segodnya, RIA Novosti, Sputnik, as well as the RT television channel and its editor-in-chief Margarita Simonyan. Washington explained this decision by the fact that the blacklisted media outlets were allegedly involved in interfering in the American presidential elections.
On September 6, Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov called the new US accusations and sanctions against Russia an attempt to put pressure on Moscow and the Russians. He stressed that Russia strongly condemns this line and considers it unacceptable.
