"Taking into account the Foreign Ministry's recommendation, LRTK made the decision to suspend the retransmission of five RT programs in the territory of the Republic of Lithuania," Mantas Martisius, the chairman of the media watchdog, told BNS.
The decision will take effect on Thursday, he said.
Since the ban was imposed because of the EU's sanctions against Kiselyov and not because of violations, RT's representatives were not present at the commission's meeting, Martisius said.
The chairman added that the decision was likely to be appealed.
LRTK says five RT channels – RT, RT HD, RT Spanish, RT Documentary and RT Documentary HD – are available in Lithuania. These channels are retransmitted by the TV providers Balticum, Consilium Optimum and Penki Kontinentai, and the online media service Megogo.net.
Kiselyov is the CEO of the news agency Rossiya Segodnya, the owner of the channels, according to the commission.
The move follows the Latvian media watchdog's decision to ban RT which it described as "the most influential Russian propaganda channel".
The National Electronic Mass Media Council of Latvia (NEPLP) took the decision last week based on information that RT is controlled by Kiselyov who became subject to EU sanctions in March 2014 due to his role in Russia's propaganda supporting the annexation of the Crimea and Russia's ongoing military activity in eastern Ukraine.
