Russia’s President Vladimir Putin has called the resolution of the European Parliament against Kremlin’s campaign a degradation of democracy, reports the TASS. "If the European Parliament passed a resolution against the Russian campaign, it speaks to the fact, that we witness a degradation of democracy in the Western society," said the Russian president.

The European Parliament passed a resolution, which calls for more active fight against the Kremlin's propaganda and Islamist extremists. 

“The European Parliament is seriously concerned by the rapid expansion of Kremlin-inspired activities in Europe, including disinformation and propaganda seeking to maintain or increase Russia’s influence to weaken and split the EU… The European Parliament calls for special attention and sufficient resources to be provided for media pluralism, local media, investigative journalism and foreign language media, particularly in Russian… as well as other languages spoken by populations vulnerable to propaganda.”
