European Parliament Considers Banning Russian Media
The European Parliament is weighing the possibility of banning access to Russian websites, such as 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 across the bloc in 2022 after Moscow launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
- Despite the sanctions, many websites hosting the broadcasters' content remain accessible.
The right-wing European Conservatives and Reformists asked for “Russian propaganda websites under EU sanctions” to be made inaccessible on Parliament’s IT infrastructure.
Latvian MEP Rihards Kols requested the Parliament to block access to RT, Sputnik, VGTRK, ANO TV Novosti, and others across all Parliament devices and networks.
