France proposes new sanctions to target Russian disinformation, election interference
France is asking the #
EU to impose new sanctions to target Russian disinformation and election interference around the world, Bloomberg reported on April 24, citing a draft proposal from #
France.
The proposal "would target those responsible for threatening the stability, security or #
sovereignty of EU member states or third countries by undermining elections, the rule of law,
facilitating acts of #violence or do so through the use of information manipulation and interference," Bloomberg wrote.
The governments of #
Belgium and #
Czechia also warned earlier in April that
Russia was operating a disinformation and interference network targeting the upcoming EU parliamentary election.
