MOSCOW, June 30 (Xinhua) -- Moscow has decided to impose reciprocal restrictions on 15 European media outlets operating in Russia in response to EU sanctions against several Russian media outlets, the Russian Foreign Ministry said Monday.

"In a countermeasure to the EU's latest restrictions on eight Russian publications and information channels approved by the EU Council as part of the so-called 16th sanctions package in February this year, the Russian side has decided to impose counter-restrictions within its territory to web resources of 15 EU member state media outlets involved in spreading disinformation," the ministry said in a statement.
