“The European Parliament expresses deep concern about the extremely dangerous nature of Russian propaganda in particular, and calls on the Commission and the Council to develop an effective and detailed strategy that provides for swift and decisive opposition to Russian disinformation strategies,” the document says.
In addition, the authors of the resolution argue that Russia is allegedly involved in financing Western election campaigns.
Moreover, the EP refers to the data of “several investigations”, examples of which are not given.
The Russian authorities have repeatedly denied the West’s baseless allegations of influencing the election and spreading propaganda.
In March, the European Parliament approved a resolution containing a proposal to develop a legal framework to combat hybrid threats.
The document, in particular, spoke of the need "to raise awareness of Russia's misinformation campaigns, which are the main source of misinformation in Europe."
In the State Duma, commenting on the decision of the European Parliament, they noted that the resolution of the European Parliament has nothing to do with reality.
