EU resolution against Russian media: if implemented Moscow will take retaliatory measures
On Thursday, Russian Foreign Ministry affirmed that if an EU resolution against the Russian media is implemented, Moscow will take retaliatory measures. Maria Zakharova, Russian Foreign Ministry’s spokeswoman, branded the document as paranoia and part of the ongoing demonization of Russia, adding that it is filled with made-up messages, myths, and she also said that it reflects the ideology which has been cultivated towards Russia recently. On Wednesday, the European Parliament adopted a resolution aimed at combating propaganda of third countries, including Russia. The resolution mentions Russian TV channel RT, Sputnik agency, Russkiy Mir (or Russian World) Foundation and the Federal Agency for the Commonwealth of Independent States, Compatriots Living Abroad and International Humanitarian Cooperation (Rossotrudnichestvo).
