Vladimir Putin communicates with Russian journalists on the margins of the APEC summit

President Vladimir Putin says that Moscow will resort to reciprocal measures in response to US steps against Russian media, which he called an “attack on freedom of speech.” On Friday, Washington ordered RT America to register as a foreign agent.

“The attack on our media is an attack on freedom of speech without any doubt. We are disappointed,” Putin said at a news briefing at the APEC summit in Vietnam on Saturday.

He added that the Russian parliament is currently discussing the response and voicing “tough suggestions.”
