In a letter seen by POLITICO that was sent to the social network on Friday, Jourová and Thierry Breton, the internal markets Commissioner, urged Telegram to comply with the bloc’s sanctions, and called on the platform to update its terms of service because Telegram may be used "as a means of war propaganda.” Similar pleas were sent to other signatories of the Commission’s voluntary code of conduct for disinformation, including Google and Facebook, as well as to Apple, to remind them to comply with Europe’s sanctions, according to a Commission official.

Second, everyone has understood what is at stake by now." "All actors should take their responsibilities. There cannot be any circumvention," said Věra Jourová, the European Commission's vice president for values and transparency, in response to written questions from POLITICO, adding that it was up to member countries to take action against those who had not complied with the sanctions.

Telegram removed access to these channels, within the EU, Friday after POLITICO published this article. Similar falsehoods were also routinely shared, both in English and Russian, within official RT Telegram channels with hundreds of thousands of followers. On RT en Español, Kyiv's forces were accused of carrying out atrocities against civilians in the country's two breakaway "republics" of Luhansk and Donetsk.

On RT Deutsch, Vladimir Putin's invasion was reframed to falsely claim it was aimed at "denazifying" Ukraine's military. On RT France, the outlet questioned how Europe's economy would survive after imposing sanctions on Russia.
