Earlier this month, the US imposed sanctions on the media holding Rossiya Segodnya and its head Dmitry Kiselev, as well as the RT broadacaster and its editor-in-chief, Margarita Simonyan. The US believes that these media outlets are involved in an information campaign to interfere in the presidential elections, set for November.
TikTok has deleted multiple Sputnik accounts amid US accusations of interference in Russian media.
The message "couldn't find this account" appears when a user tries to reach
Sputnik Africa, Sputnik Afrique, Sputnik International, Sputnik Serbia, Sputnik Brasil, Sputnik Mundo, and other accounts on the social media platform.
TikTok has not yet explained the reasons for deleting the accounts.
On September 4, the US Treasury
announced a new batch of sanctions against the editor-in-chief of the media group Rossiya Segodnya, a Sputnik parent company, and the RT TV channel Margarita Simonyan, as well as her deputies Anton Anisimov and Elizaveta Brodskaya.
The US State Department has tightened the conditions for the work of the media group and its subsidiaries, defining their status as "foreign agents." As prescribed by the law
on foreign missions, they will be required to notify the department about personnel and property working in the United States.
The US authorities also brought charges of violating the law on foreign agents and money laundering against two RT employees.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova promised that Washington's actions against Russian media
will not go unanswered. As the Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Sputnik in response to Washington's sanctions against the media group, there will be restrictions on the dissemination of information by American media in Russia.
He noted, though, that mirror countermeasures are impossible due to the absence of a state news agency in the United States.
