Bank accounts of Kremlin's mouthpiece RT frozen in UK, - Bloomberg

NatWest, part of the state-owned Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc, has terminated the banking facilities of Russia's propagandist TV station RT (Russia Today), including due to sanctions.

Censor.NET reports citing Bloomberg.

"RBS decided to cancel the banking facilities of RT's UK service provider due to concerns over its compliance with so-called know-your-customer rules and sanctions-related issues," the publication notes.

The move is now being reviewed by Chief Executive Officer Ross McEwan.

Earlier, editor-in-chief of the channel Margarita Simonyan said that all RT's banking accounts were blocked in the UK.
