Russia slammed on Friday the decision of Twitter to ban ads of Russian media outlets RT and Sputnik over alleged election meddling.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Moscow expresses hope that Twitter will deal with the situation and come to a conclusion that the work of free media cannot be qualified as interfering in electoral processes.

The spokesperson said that Russia “regrets that this company [Twitter] is most likely falling a victim to deep-rooted prejudice against our [Russian] media.” He also stressed that Twitter has created “precedent of unequal treatment of clients, which can be concerning for other users of the social network.”
