European Parliament Considers Banning Russian Media
The European Parliament is weighing a ban on access to Russian websites, including Sputnik and RT, from its IT infrastructure.
Leaders of political groups have expressed concern that this move could set a precedent for restricting media in the European Parliament.
- The EU sanctioned Russian media in 2022 after 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 right-wing European Conservatives and Reformists group, led by Polish and Italian leaders, also oppose Russia's war and support the ban.
