The EU regrets further repressive measures adopted by the Russian State Duma, related to the so-called "foreign agents" legislation and the LGBTI legislation. The recently proposed amendments to the citizenship legislation are also deeply worrying.
These legislative developments fuel homophobia and further deepen the harsh repression of any critical and alternative discourse in the context of Russia's illegal, unprovoked and unjustified war of aggression against Ukraine, which the EU continues to condemn in the strongest possible terms.
The European Union stands in solidarity with Russian citizens who are prevented from exercising their human rights.
