俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京指控西方国家迫害俄罗斯记者, Russian President Vladimir Putin accused Western countries of persecuting Russian journalists to suppress inconvenient truths. 在他发表上述言论之前，莫斯科禁止包括记者在内的 92 名美国公民入境，以回应他所说的华盛顿的恐俄立场。 His remarks followed Moscow's ban on 92 U.S. citizens, including journalists, in response to what he termed a Russophobic stance from Washington. 普京宣称,俄罗斯媒体在国内自由运作,同时宣称西方国家对俄罗斯记者实行新闻检查。 Putin asserted that Russian media operate freely within the country, while claiming Western nations impose censorship on Russian correspondents. 这种交换使俄罗斯和西方之间本已紧张的关系更加复杂。 This exchange further complicates already tense relations between Russia and the West.
