European Parliament Weighs Banning Russian Media
The European Parliament is considering banning 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 the broadcasters' content remain accessible.
- The right-wing European Conservatives and Reformists requested the ban on "Russian propaganda websites under EU sanctions" during a meeting on October 15.
- Latvian MEP Rihards Kols wants to block access to RT, Sputnik, VGTRK, ANO TV Novosti, and others across all Parliament devices and networks.
However, some political group leaders have voiced concerns that the move could set a precedent for restricting media in the European Parliament.
