European Parliament Slams Russia for Historical Manipulation to Justify Ukraine War
The European Parliament has today passed a resolution condemning Russia for systematically distorting historical narratives to justify its invasion of Ukraine. The resolution also calls on the European Union (EU) and its member states to strengthen efforts against Russian disinformation and to expand sanctions on Russian media outlets that promote misleading campaigns defending Moscow’s aggression.
In the text adopted, the Parliament rejects Russia’s historical claims, which undermine Ukraine’s history and national identity, describing them as futile attempts to justify an illegal war. The resolution also criticizes Russia’s failure to hold accountable Soviet-era crimes and its suppression of efforts to conduct historical research and public debate on these issues. It points out that such practices have allowed Moscow’s regime to revive imperialistic policies and manipulate history for its criminal objectives.
The resolution stresses that the EU must coordinate stronger, more effective actions to counter Russian disinformation, manipulation, and foreign interference. These efforts are deemed crucial to protect democratic processes and to strengthen the resilience of European societies.
Additionally, the resolution emphasizes the need for active promotion of media literacy and support for quality, professional journalism. The European Parliament calls on the EU to expand sanctions against Russian media outlets conducting disinformation campaigns that support Russia’s war against Ukraine. It also urges more support for banned independent Russian media, aiming to offer diverse voices in the Russian-language media space.
The Parliament also expressed concern over recent announcements from Meta and X Corp, the parent companies of Facebook and X (formerly Twitter), regarding a relaxation of fact-checking rules and content moderation. These changes could further enable the spread of Russian disinformation.
The resolution passed with 480 votes in favor, 58 against, and 48 abstentions.
