EU Sanctions Two Entities Over Russian Propaganda

The EU Council adopted restrictive measures on 21 April 2026 against two entities responsible for Russia's hybrid activities: Euromore, a media platform amplifying Kremlin disinformation to European audiences, and Pravfond, a Russian state-founded foundation systematically reinforcing key Kremlin disinformation narratives. Both entities are now subject to an asset freeze, with EU citizens and companies forbidden from making funds, financial assets, or economic resources available to them. This brings the total under Russia's destabilising activities sanctions to 69 individuals and 19 entities.
