The European Council is listing:

• Euromore, a media platform operating within the pro Kremlin information architecture as an unofficial media relay. Euromore amplifies, recycles, and legitimises Russian narratives and disinformation targeting European audiences. Furthermore, it recurrently disseminates content challenging the legitimacy of EU institutions and justifying Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine.

• The Foundation for the Support and Protection of the Rights of Compatriots Living Abroad (Pravfond). This is a core instrument of the Russian Federation’s foreign influence and propaganda strategy, which is founded and financed by the Russian state. Pravfond’s legal and analytical output is systematically used to reinforce key Kremlin disinformation points, notably allegations of the 'nazification' of Ukraine, claims of widespread 'Russophobia', and assertions of 'systematic persecution of Russian-speaking populations in neighbouring states'.

The designation subjects the entities to an asset freeze, and EU citizens and companies are forbidden from making funds, financial assets or economic resources available to them.

With this decision, restrictive measures in view of Russia’s destabilising activities now apply to a total of 69 individuals and 19 entities.
