The European Union imposed sanctions against the traitor Medvedchuk

The European Union has imposed sanctions against former Ukrainian MP Viktor Medvedchuk, as well as the Voice of Europe publication.

The Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported this on Twitter .

The department noted that, at the proposal of the Czech Republic, the European Union decided to add three organizations working for the Kremlin to the EU sanctions list.

“Czech diplomacy managed to achieve the inclusion of three organizations working for Russia on the EU sanctions list,” the report says.

First on the list is Voice of Europe, a Russian propaganda tool used by Russia, in particular, to influence elections to the European Parliament.

Pro-Russian businessmen Artem Marchevskyi and Viktor Medvedchuk, who were behind the Russian influence operation, were also sanctioned.

“All restrictions that the Czech Republic has already applied to legal entities now apply to all 27 EU member states,” the statement said.

It is noted that for Medvedchuk and Marchevsky this means a ban on entry and transit through all EU member countries. At the same time, all funds and economic resources of all three legal entities are frozen throughout the EU.

What preceded this

Earlier, the Czech authorities identified a scheme in which Viktor Medvedchuk took part. We are talking about the voices of European media platforms engaged in pro-Russian propaganda and disinformation.

European Commission Vice-President Vera Jourova recently announced that the European Union will impose sanctions on the Voice of Europe media platform associated with Medvedchuk.

Voice of Europe scandal

Through Voice of Europe, agents bribed pro-Russian European politicians and also disseminated pro-Russian stories to discredit Ukraine and its supporters in Europe.

Later, according to the Czech intelligence service, Medvedchuk financed the media platform, and its chairman Marchevskyi came under Czech government sanctions. After this, Marchevskyi fled to Slovakia, where he received temporary protection.
