Twenty-eight EU member states jointly decided to oppose the “Russian disinformation,” said the President of the European Council Donald Tusk at a press conference.
It’s still not clear what form it will take, although the most mentioned option is opening a new European TV channel in Russian language, which will be broadcast in Russia and will tell the “facts.”
Leaders assigned High Representative for Foreign Affairs Federica Mogerini to develop “strategic communication support of media freedom” until June.
Diplomats say that, initially, in the conclusions of the Summit was used the word “propaganda”, but some countries opposed this term.
At yesterday’s summit was also decided economic sanctions against Russia to be associated with the full implementation of the agreement “Minsk 2”, which finishes at the end of 2015.
