A top EU official on Tuesday denounced Moscow for blocking access to dozens of European media, including AFP, in retaliation for broadcasting bans imposed on Russian outlets by Brussels last month.

"It's a nonsense retaliation. No, propaganda outlets funded by Russia to spread disinformation as part of Russia's military doctrine are not the same as independent media," European Commission vice president Vera Jourova wrote on X.
