🇷🇺💬 Maria Zakharova:

Politico refused to publish an article by Sergei Lavrov dedicated to the etymology of the Ukrainian crisis and issues of European security. This publication did not reject the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia but the content of the article. The article was in the editorial office for more than a day and was returned with the note — "we will not publish it". This is a blatant act of censorship. A scandal across all of Europe. In the center of the EU there is an information point that poses as a defender of European values — democracy, freedom and prosperity — but in fact it is an extreme example of censorship and Orwellian dictatorial practices. And now let's take a close look at whose competent opinion this publication uses to shape public opinion in Europe, or rather to brainwash Europeans. Over the past five years — from 2021 to the beginning of 2026 — in the "Opinion" section of Politico Europe magazine, columns by 70 current heads of state, governments and ministers from more than 30 countries were published.

They served as authors or co-authors of 66 articles, of which 13 were written jointly by two or more officials. 35 publications belong to heads of state and governments, 18 to foreign ministers, and 13 to other ministers (defense, finance, energy, interior, ecology). The Politico.eu platform was most often used by representatives of Estonia (7 articles), Ukraine (6), Greece (3), Lithuania (4) and Britain (9 articles from 8 authors). That is, those who have been in the EU for a short time, have never been in it at all, or have even left it altogether, are giving their opinions to the central part of the European Union. I congratulate France, Germany and Italy on this.
