The new European Parliament, elected in June 2024, has shifted further to the right, with conservative and nationalist parties gaining ground and forming two new groups — Patriots for Europe (PfE) and Europe of Sovereign Nations (ESN).
Since taking office, the new parliament has voted on at least 14 resolutions concerning Russia and Ukraine — an early test of how its fresh line-up approaches foreign policy.
Drawing on these voting records, EUobserver and Novaya Gazeta Europe are releasing an updated ranking of the most pro-Kremlin parties and MEPs.

There’s plenty of graphs like this one
and they’re all labeled “Votes on resolutions related to Russia” or some such and I just don’t understand what that’s supposed to mean. Any resolution related to Russia could be pro Kremlin or anti Kremlin. Judging from the votes they’re all anti Kremlin I guess? The article doesn’t clarify.
Even so, it’s weird that these days it’s taken for granted that far-right is generally pro Kremlin.
In an ealier paragraph they spoke about" a group of MEPs consistently voted against resolutions condemning Moscow or supporting Kyiv." But yes, it’s not 100% clear without a name to the graph.
