A senior Russian lawmaker has criticized the European Commission over remarks accusing Russia of isolating the town of Alyoshki, saying the statements amount to an information campaign, according to a report by Russian state news agency TASS.
Leonid Slutsky, leader of the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia, said Brussels was using tactics he compared to earlier information campaigns related to Syria and to Bucha, the Ukrainian town where allegations of killings of civilians by Russian forces drew international condemnation in 2022.
TASS's report did not provide further detail on the specific European Commission statement being referenced or additional context on the situation in Alyoshki.
The exchange reflects the broader information contest between Moscow and Western institutions over the war in Ukraine and surrounding territories, with each side frequently accusing the other of distorting events for political purposes. Independent verification of the claims made by either side was not immediately available.
