Putin: US' RFE/RL Became 'Foreign Agent' After RF' RT/Sputnik

During a press conference in Geneva, Vladimir Putin said that President Biden, during their meeting, raised the issue of the activities of Radio Liberty and Radio Free Europe in Russia, which had been announced as foreign agents in Russia.

Putin expressed bewilderment because earlier Russia Today and Sputnik had been declared foreign agents in the United States, and therefore this was a response to unfriendly actions against the Russian media.

'In addition, Russia Today complies with all the requirements of the US regulatory body and US legislation. They go through the appropriate registration there and so on, although they face a fairly large number of problems related to staff recruitment, financial issues and so on,' the Russian leader noted.
