    He’s a German citizen that was accused of “Russian misinformation”, which these days means any criticism of EU actions:

    Doğru has consistently opposed Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, a stance he reiterated in public statements. However, his critical reporting on German domestic policies, particularly the suppression of Palestine solidarity actions, drew scrutiny from mainstream media and officials.

    The EU rationale links these actions to Russian interests: By amplifying narratives critical of Western policies (e.g., support for Israel or repression of protests), Doğru is said to indirectly aid Moscow’s efforts to sow division in Europe.

    Maybe the EU shouldn’t be doing the things that are sowing division?? Maybe the criticism is grassroots and not funded by Ruzzia??

    So his accounts were frozen in retaliation, and now his wife’s accounts were also frozen due to a shared car insurance. It is the typical silencing of critics that Francesca Albanese is also subjected to.
