According to Yurova, we are talking about the preparation of legislative initiatives to protect against structures “funded or associated with foreign states and conducting economic activities in the EU that may affect public opinion and democracy.”

He also said that the European Union actively supports the media, which in Russia are recognized as foreign agents, because they allegedly "tell the truth."
