EU Ambassadors Approve Ban on Several Russian Propaganda Outlets

EU ambassadors have agreed to ban access to four information resources used as tools of Russian propaganda across all member states of the Union. This decision was announced by Rikard Jozwiak, the editor of “Radio Liberty” for Europe.

“EU ambassadors have just approved a pan-European ban on the resources Voice of Europe, RIA Novosti, Izvestia, and Rossiyskaya Gazeta,” he wrote on his Twitter (X).

In March, Czech special services stated that the website was used to spread anti-Ukrainian propaganda and disinformation at the direction of Viktor Medvedchuk, against whom the Czech Republic imposed sanctions.

“Rossiyskaya Gazeta” is the official printed publication of the Russian government.

In early March 2022, by the decision of the EU Council, the work of Russian propaganda TV channels RT/Russia Today and Sputnik was urgently banned in the European Union.
