A number of tech companies have limited distribution and advertising tools to Russian news outlets in recent days as the European Commission readies a ban on them out of concern that they are spreading misinformation about the war in Ukraine.
RT Deputy Editor-in-Chief Anna Belkina said in a statement on Tuesday that technology companies that have cut her outlet's distribution have not pointed to any evidence that it has reported falsehoods.
Sputnik did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Apple Inc (AAPL.O) said on Tuesday that RT News and Sputnik News were no longer available for download from its App Store outside Russia.
