A Moscow court has fined U.S.-backed broadcaster Radio Liberty/Radio Free Europe 20 million roubles ($325,214) over "fake" content about Russia's military operation in Ukraine, the Interfax news agency reported on Monday.

Russia's communications watchdog blocked the websites of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and some other foreign media in early March.
