“There will definitely be an answer from Russia,” Nechayev said.
Eutelsat, the European satellite television service provider, suspended RT’s German-language channel in December.
This step was taken following a complaint from the German authorities that RT was broadcasting in Germany without a license.
RT has stated that it considers the actions of the German media regulators to be illegal and is confident that this decision will be challenged in court.
The broadcaster claims to have a Serbian license to broadcast cable and satellite television and insists that this license also allows it to broadcast in Germany under European law.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has called for an end to discrimination against RT, and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has said Moscow could come up with a response “if this unacceptable situation continues”.
At the same time, most Westerners believe the RT, formerly known as Russia Today, is a Kremlin propaganda speaker.
RT began operations in 2005, and over time the broadcaster has expanded to include several languages, including English, Spanish and Arabic.
RT regularly broadcasts news in favor of Russia’s foreign policy and tends to dramatize news from countries with strained relations with the Kremlin.
