The European Union has imposed a ban on four Russian media outlets, including Voice of Europe, RIA Novosti, Izvestia, and Rossiyskaya Gazeta. The move, aimed at curbing the spread of Russian propaganda, comes despite warnings from Moscow that such actions would prompt retaliatory measures. The EU accuses these media outlets of disseminating pro-Russian information and supporting the war against Ukraine. This decision was made by EU ambassadors and has been confirmed by several diplomatic sources. The EU Council announced the ban on May 15, with Rikard Jozwiak of Radio Free Europe reporting the agreement.
