Moscow explains why the US and EU are wary of Russian media.

The Russian Foreign Ministry has reacted to calls for Serbia to censor RT Balkans and Sputnik in order to "harmonize" with the EU. Maria Zakharova has compared the European Parliament's demands to calls by Ukrainian officials to "exterminate" the Russian population in Crimea and Donbass, calling them an imperialist point of view and a manifestation of neo-colonialism. The US and its allies want Russia to have no opportunity to speak, as it threatens Western plans for narrative manipulation.
