EU:n ja Venäjän seurantakomitea on ETSK:n sisäinen elin, joka vastaa suhteista Venäjän kansalaisyhteiskuntaan.

Sen jälkeen, kun Venäjän federaation viranomaiset käynnistivät sodan Ukrainaa vastaan 24. helmikuuta 2022, Venäjän vapaa kansalaisyhteiskunta on vaiennettu erityislaeilla ja lisääntyvillä sortotoimilla ja monet hallinnon arvostelijat on pakotettu maanpakoon.

Nykyisissä vaikeissa olosuhteissa ETSK on päättänyt pitää vuoropuhelukanavan avoimena EU:n alueella vaikuttavien Venäjän kansalaisyhteiskunnan sodanvastaista osaa edustavien toimijoiden suuntaan.

Tämä on johtanut hedelmälliseen tietojen ja näkemysten vaihtoon siitä, miten kahdenvälisten suhteiden tulisi jatkua sen jälkeen, kun sota on päättynyt ja vapaus ja demokratia on palautettu maahan.

    On 12 June, the EESC launched its first event on fighting disinformation, kick-starting an awareness-raising campaign ahead of the European Parliament elections in 2024. The event, which gathered prominent figures from the civil society, media and youth organisations, highlighted the need for a more bottom-up approach with a strong civil society network countering disinformation on the ground. However, political awareness and solid legislative framework together with independent media are also crucial in the fight against fake news penetration.

  • Cohesion policy is key to overcoming the COVID-19 crisis, to achieving climate neutrality by 2050 and to reducing disparities in Europe. Its most serious challenge for the foreseeable future, however, is the war in Ukraine, the EESC cautions in a recent opinion.
