The European Alliance of News Agencies expelled Russia's state news agency TASS on 13 November 2026, at its General Assembly in Larnaca, Cyprus, Ukrinform reported. Ukrinform, a Ukrainian state news agency that is an Alliance member, was attending the event. TASS's membership had been suspended since 27 February 2022, and since then it had been barred from meetings, conferences and General Assemblies. The Alliance, founded in 1956, brings together more than 30 leading European news agencies. Ukrinform reported that the expulsion was adopted at the General Assembly, but the articles give no further detail on the rationale. Earlier, in October, the Alliance decided at its Rome assembly to set up a committee to combat disinformation, headed by Ukrinform Director General Serhii Cherevatyi.
