23/01/2025 (Agence Europe) – On Thursday 23 January, MEPs rejected the various allegations made by the Russian regime as futile attempts to justify an illegal war of aggression against Ukraine. In the resolution it adopted (480 votes in favour, 58 against and 48 abstentions), the European Parliament denounced the systematic falsification of history and the use of distorted historical arguments by the Russian regime in its attempt to manipulate Russian public opinion. It also calls on the EU and its Member States to intensify and coordinate their efforts to combat Russian disinformation, manipulation of information and foreign interference swiftly and rigorously. According to Parliament, the EU must extend its sanctions against the Russian media, which are conducting disinformation and information manipulation campaigns, and the Member States must allocate sufficient resources to combat this hybrid war effectively.
