European Parliament Considers Banning Russian Media
The European Parliament is weighing whether to ban access to Russian websites, including Sputnik and RT, from its IT infrastructure.
Despite EU sanctions on Russian media in 2022 following Moscow's invasion of Ukraine, many websites hosting these broadcasters' content remain accessible.
- The right-wing European Conservatives and Reformists group has requested that "Russian propaganda websites under EU sanctions" be made inaccessible on Parliament's IT infrastructure.
- Latvian MEP Rihards Kols has specifically called for blocking access to RT, Sputnik, VGTRK, ANO TV Novosti, and others across all Parliament devices and networks.
No official decision has been made yet, as some political group leaders have voiced concerns that the move could set a precedent for restricting media in the European Parliament.
