European Parliament Considers Banning Russian Media
The European Parliament is weighing a ban on Russian media outlets, such as Sputnik and RT, from its networks.
Leaders of political groups have expressed concern that this move could set a precedent for restricting media within the European Parliament.
- The EU sanctioned Russian media in 2022 following Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.
- Despite this, many websites hosting Russian broadcaster content remain accessible.
The request to block access to Russian propaganda websites under EU sanctions was made by Latvian MEP Rihards Kols.
The proposal aims to block access to RT, Sputnik, VGTRK, ANO TV Novosti, and other outlets across all Parliament devices and networks.
