Russia said it would block access to 81 EU media outlets, including AFP's websites, as a "retaliatory measure" after Brussels imposed broadcasting bans on several Russian state media outlets.
The European Union in May said it had decided to block access to four Kremlin-controlled media for being "instrumental in bringing forward and supporting" Moscow's Ukraine offensive.
Moscow said it was responding to that move.
"Counter-restrictions are being introduced on the access from Russian territory of broadcast resources of media outlets from EU member states," Moscow's foreign ministry said in a statement, publishing a list of media outlets and blaming Brussels for the restrictions.
The list included AFP's homepage afp.com and its client portal afpforum.com.
