The foreign ministry, the Farnesina,
said Tuesday that Russia's tit for tat blocking of many foreign
media sites including Italy's Rai, La7, la Repubblica and La
Stampa was "unjustified".
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation
said it strongly condemns the Russian Federation's decision to
block access on its territory to the broadcasts and sites of
several European media, including the Italian Rai, La7, la
Repubblica and La Stampa.
"We regret the unjustified measure taken against these Italian
broadcasters and newspapers, which have always provided
objective and impartial information on the conflict in Ukraine.
"These media have followed objective information criteria," the
Farnesina said in a note.
Moscow blocked access to 81 European Union media outlets
Tuesday, in response to the EU's blacking out a number of
Russian outlets.
