Recital 7

(7) In view of the gravity of the situation, and in response to Russia’s actions destabilising the situation in Ukraine, it is necessary, consistent with the fundamental rights and freedoms recognised in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, in particular with the right to freedom of expression and information as recognised in Article 11 thereof, to introduce further restrictive measures to suspend the broadcasting activities of certain media outlets in the Union, or directed at the Union. Those measures should be maintained until the war of aggression against Ukraine is put to an end, and until Russia and those media outlets cease to conduct propaganda actions against the Union and its Member States.
