"Peptress on your sanctions": Russian propaganda sites are available in the EU under new names
However, propaganda sites continue to spread misinformation with mirror to blocked platforms. About it reports Bloomberg. According to the Reset research group, one of them is the Swentr portal that has registered three days after the sanctions against Russia today, which uses more than 19 websites to reach the EU audience. "We spit on your sanctions," said Russia today, Margarita Simonyan, in a comment transmitted by her press service.
Sputnik is known to also work through mirror sites such as sputnikglobe. com. Researchers are convinced that Russian misinformation platforms have found higher adaptability compared to EU attempts to curb them, speaking under new names and providing links for their authors and other users. The publication noted that the Russians also use a "blue tick" on Twitter (X) to promote the Kremlin's interests, causing differences among NATO members and increasing confusion around the war.
However, the material noted that the process of imposing EU sanctions is usually slowly, and it is difficult to focus it on a specific purpose. Although the executive body provides guidance and supervision, the use of sanctions is mainly the responsibility of the Member States, which "further complicates the situation".
According to Vice president, Virova, who is responsible for combating misinformation, the European Commission is aware of the mirrors and works with Member States for the effective use of sanctions. "I would like to emphasize that despite some attempts bypass, sanctions are effective. No one can find these media by accidentally switching channels. In the network, search engines and news aggregators do not show results from these media," she said.
