Dmitry Peskov, a spokesperson for the Kremlin, rejected European concerns on Tuesday regarding "Russian propaganda," claiming that everything that disagreed with the dominant narrative was now being labelled as such by the West.

During a meeting on Monday, the foreign ministers of France, Germany, and Poland issued a warning about an increase in Russian propaganda in European nations in advance of the June European Parliament elections. Peskov was questioned about this.

During a conference call with journalists, a Kremlin spokesman stated,&nbsp;"It is evident now that any media or online resources that do not fit the mould, do not function within the mainstream of information, and attempt to report events from multiple perspectives, are instantly identified as propaganda tools."

"This blatantly violates the principles of a free press and shows once more how willing the government is to punish media outlets they don't like. In modern Europe, this occurs frequently."

Western countries have frequently charged Russian agents of using the internet and social media to disseminate false or misleading material against them, to further Russia, or to try to influence public opinion against supporting Ukraine in its conflict with Russia.

Kremlin dismisses Europe’s warnings about ‘Russian propaganda’

The Kremlin said on Wednesday that a reported plan by Ukraine to cut all diplomatic ties with Russia would further deepen a crisis between the two countries and end up hurting the interests of both Ukrainians and Russians.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, speaking on a conference call with reporters, was responding to a report in Russia&rsquo;s Kommersant newspaper which said that the Ukrainian parliament was expected to vote to cut all diplomatic ties on Nov. 16.

Ties between Moscow and Kiev have been in crisis since Russia annexed Ukraine&rsquo;s Crimea region in 2014 and a pro-Russian separatist uprising broke out in eastern Ukraine that same year.
