Main Article Content
Abstract
The unprovoked Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2014 triggered the need for a European response.
With unprecedented speed, the Union adopted a series of restrictive measures limiting trade with the Russian
Federation, freezing the assets of individuals, and restricting their activities in the Single Market. The Union
also had to address the issue of the undermining of European unity and society by Russian media houses
based in Member States. Restrictions on the broadcasting of Russia Today France were subsequently challenged
in the European General Court. This was the first time the Court had ruled on restrictions on the activities
of an entire editorial office. The days of innocence are coming to an end and days of hard choices are
becoming the norm as the Union begins to assume its geopolitical responsibilities.
