But the document states that, despite the ban on broadcasting, the proposed measure will not prevent propaganda media workers from “carrying out activities in the EU, in particular, conducting research and conducting interviews.”
The EU Council decided to block the websites of four Russian media outlets on the territory of the European Union: Voice of Europe, RIA Novosti, Izvestia and Rossiyskaya Gazeta. It is discussed in the official journal of the EU.
Access to the websites of these media outlets in the European Union will begin to be blocked on Tuesday, June 25.
In mid-May of this year, the Council of the European Union decided to stop broadcasting these media outlets in its territory.
“These media are under the constant direct or indirect control of the leadership of the Russian Federation and play an important role in promoting and supporting Russia’s aggressive war against Ukraine, as well as destabilizing the situation in neighboring countries,” the EU Council said in a statement.
But the document states that, despite the ban on broadcasting, the measure taken will not prevent employees of the aforementioned media “from carrying out activities in the EU, in particular, conducting research and conducting interviews. “
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Russia “responded” to such a decision by the EU, and “appropriate measures are being taken.”
It was previously reported that the occupiers were forcing Ukrainian children to participate in propaganda events.
