We remind Russia that the right to information is enshrined in the international documents to which Moscow is a party, a spokesman for the European Commission pointed out today in response to a question related to the announcement of the Bulgarian investigative journalist Hristo Grozev as wanted by the Russian authorities.

Russia introduced censorship on the war in Ukraine, approving a law to punish so-called "fake information", including about Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

This has caused many independent Russian and foreign media to leave Russia, the spokesman noted.

The West's attempts to undermine cooperation between Russia and China are not succeeding

The EU condemns Russia's actions against independent Russian media and the blocking of access to foreign websites, he added. 

Russian authorities want to deprive Russian citizens of independent sources of information about the war they waged against Ukraine and the atrocities committed by Russian forces, the spokesman said.
