The document received the support of 480 deputies. In the resolution, MEPs reject the Kremlin’s attempts to distort historical facts in order to destroy Ukraine’s national identity and condemn impunity for the crimes of the Soviet regime. They emphasize that the use of history to revive imperialist ideas is part of Moscow’s criminal policy.

The European Parliament has called on the EU to do more to counter Russian disinformation, promote media literacy, support quality journalism and strengthen sanctions against Russian media outlets that spread propaganda. MEPs also call for assistance to independent Russian media outlets operating in exile.

Particular attention was paid to the weakening of moderation rules in the social networks Meta and X, which creates a threat to the spread of Kremlin propaganda. The European Parliament demands that the European Commission and member states strictly implement the provisions of the Digital Services Act.

Yaroslav Yurchyshyn, a People’s Deputy of Ukraine and Chairman of the Committee on Freedom of Speech of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, called this decision an important signal that exposes the criminal essence of the “Russian world”.

“This is an important step to show what the Kremlin and the Russian regime really are today. We are strengthening our positions in the international arena, putting pressure on the enemy on all available platforms. The operation to make Russia small again continues. Thanks to everyone who is involved in returning the Russian Federation to its true borders,” the People’s Deputy noted.
