It comes after Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo said on Thursday that “Russia had approached EU lawmakers” and paid them to “promote Russian propaganda” in Europe, as part of an operation uncovered in a Czech investigation. The Parliament’s services were unable to confirm how many MEPs could be under scrutiny, but said on Friday it was working “in coordination with its institutional partners” in response to the explosive allegations. In a letter addressed to the president of the Parliament Roberta Metsola, the chief of the centrist Renew Europe group, Valérie Hayer, describes the alleg...

A spokesperson of the European Commission said on Monday that the European Union is "naturally concerned" by Russian officials' allegations that Kyiv was involved in Friday's shooting at a concert venue, which killed at least 137 and left more than 180 injured. The Kremlin's accusations have sparked fears in Europe that Putin could use the Moscow massacre to justify an escalation in Ukraine, now in its third year. "We reject this. There is no indication, no evidence, that Ukraine was linked to this attack," the bloc's spokesperson for foreign policy, Peter Stano, told reporters. "We call on th...

The measure would apply to cereals, oilseeds and derived products, like vegetable oil, that originate in Russia and are bound to be sold in any of the 27 member states. The same products coming from Belarus, one of Vladimir Putin's closest allies that often provides cover for his disruptive actions, would be equally subject to the regime. Under the proposal, the EU would slap a €95-per-tonne tariff on Russian-made maize, wheat and oilseeds, which are today subject to zero duties. Other goods would be subject to an "ad valorem duty" of 50% to match the increase. The figures are designed to disc...

Brussels earlier this week condemned the Russian presidential poll held over the weekend for taking place in an "ever-shrinking political space" amid an "alarming increase of violations of civil and political rights" that has strangled opposition voices and restricted access to accurate information. The bloc also denounced the Kremlin for organising "elections" in the occupied territories in eastern Ukraine, decried as a "manifest violation" of international law. "The shocking death of opposition politician Alexei Navalny in the run-up to the elections is yet another sign of the accelerating a...

The sanctions have a heavy focus on fighting circumvention and go after firms around the world accused of providing Russia with advanced technology and military goods manufactured in the EU. Companies from Turkey and North Korea have also been targeted. Nearly 200 people and entities have been added to the blacklist, which now covers more than 2,000 names, mostly from Russia. "We must keep degrading Putin's war machine," said Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission. The bloc had previously attempted to punish a handful of firms based in mainland China, but complaints from Be...

"I will continue the work of Alexei Navalny, continue to fight for our country. And I invite you to stand next to me," Navalnaya, an economist known widely as the 'first lady' of Russia's silenced opposition, said in a video message on social media. "Keep fighting and do not give up. I’m not afraid, and neither should you be," she added. Her words come three days after her husband Alexei Navalny - seen as President Vladimir Putin's fiercest domestic political opponent and greatest threat to his grip on power - was pronounced dead at the Arctic penal colony where he was held on charges of "extr...

Navalny, 47, the face of Russia's silenced opposition, died in prison on Friday following years of political persecution at the hands of the state. The EU, which has long saluted Navalny's unwavering fight for Russian democracy, had previously attempted to exert pressure on the Kremlin for its systemic repression of government critics. EU leaders on Friday pinned blame for Navalny's death - which has rocked Brussels and EU capitals - on Putin's Russia. "The EU holds the Russian regime (solely) responsible for this tragic death," European Council President Charles Michel said on social media pl...
