EU sanctions Russia's VK Company for helping expose Putin's critics

The European Union has imposed sanctions on VK Company, a major Russian social media platform, for allegedly supporting the repression of Putin's critics and facilitating information that aids his war against Ukraine. This move underscores the EU's commitment to condemning actions that undermine democratic processes and human rights. Despite the sanctions, VK claims its services are still fully operational for users. This decision highlights the EU's efforts to hold entities accountable for actions that contribute to political repression and conflict.
