Journalists of the media included in the register will be banned from entering the Federation Council. The relevant decision of the upper house will take December 15.
The head of state signed the law on foreign media agents 25 in November. The document was a forced response to the harassment of Russian media in the United States, and in particular the requirement for the TV channel RT America and the partner company Sputnik - Reston Translator - to register as a foreign agent.
The Foreign Ministry noted that Moscow can lift the restrictions if Washington does the same.
