EU Bans Four Russian Media Outlets for Propaganda
The European Union suspends Russian-linked media, citing their role in supporting the war in Ukraine and spreading disinformation.
- The ban targets Voice of Europe, RIA Novosti, Izvestia, and Rossiyskaya Gazeta.
- The EU claims these outlets are controlled by the Russian government and propagate war-supporting narratives.
- This action is part of the EU's 14th sanction package against Russia since the 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
- Russian officials have condemned the ban as unlawful and threatened retaliatory measures.
- The EU maintains that the ban protects public order and security without infringing on freedom of expression.
