on september 4, local time, the us government imposed sanctions on 10 people, including the editor-in-chief and deputy editor-in-chief of rt tv, and two russian entities, accusing them of trying to influence the 2024 us election. the us department of justice also filed a lawsuit against two of them, alleging that they were suspected of paying a huge sum of money to an american media company to spread content that "exacerbated domestic divisions in the united states." rt responded sarcastically, saying that the us accusations were a rehash of the old tune.

russia's sputnik news agency quoted a statement from the u.s. treasury department on the 4th saying that the new round of u.s. sanctions targets rt editor-in-chief margarita simonyan, two deputy editors-in-chief and several senior managers of rt tv. the russian entities subject to sanctions are the moscow-based non-profit organization ano dialog and its affiliated organizations, and the organization's director-general is also on the sanctions list.

according to the statement of the us treasury department, all property and property rights of the sanctioned persons in the united states or owned or controlled by us citizens are frozen and must be reported to the us treasury department's office of foreign assets control (ofac). any entity owned by one or more sanctioned persons directly or indirectly, individually or in aggregate, 50% or more will also be blocked. in addition, financial institutions and individuals who conduct transactions with the above-mentioned persons may also be affected.
