Earlier today, the European Parliament passed a resolution on the fight against Russian media like Sputnik and RT (Russia Today).

The authors of the resolution are equating the fight against Russia with the resistance that provides a terrorist group Daesh and call the members of EU to increase the funding of anti-propaganda projects. 

Russian President congratulated the Sputnik and RT on the effective operations.

- Resolution of the European Parliament is an obvious sign of the degradation of Western society's vision of democracy - Putin said.

He added that he hoped that common sense will overcome and there will be no restrictions concerning the work of the Russian media.
