We definitely need to step up the fight against Russian propaganda and address loopholes as part of our continuous work on new sanctions.

While the 🇷🇺 aggression on 🇺🇦 is ongoing, it is paramount that 🇪🇺’s restrictive measures are fully implemented and their violation does not pay off.
Today, we propose to harmonise the criminalisation of the violation of #EUSanctions.

Twitter’s Elon Musk must keep propaganda and #disinformation in check. Failure would be to support Russia. 👉 https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-12-01/musk-warned-by-eu-official-to-keep-putin-propaganda-off-twitter?leadSource=uverify%20wall

Inspirativní výměna s mladými lidmi z #DikyZeMuzem v Kasárnách Karlín. Dobře, že mají zájem o velká evropská témata jako je vláda práva, ochrana základních svobod a fungování EU, a že tento prostor dobře žije.

In 🇨🇿 today for the #EasternPartnership Media Conference.
More than ever, the role of independent media in these societies is paramount. 🇪🇺 addresses these challenges of 🇺🇦 media:

@JHahnEU @VDombrovskis @dreynders @EU_Commission We have agreed with 🇭🇺 in the national plan on a reform path by adding those milestones. We will monitor their implementation carefully.
It shows that we can make a difference if we use the tools at our disposal in a coherent way and in synergy.
