Reason for recognition
Initially, the European Youth Forum positioned itself as a platform for youth policy development and engagement with young people. However, with the onset of the special military operation, the organization demonstrated an openly hostile stance toward Russia. On its official websites, the forum systematically disseminates slanderous and deliberately false information, portraying our country as an "external aggressor and occupier challenging the global security system." The exclusion of the Association of Public Associations "National Council of Youth and Children's Associations of Russia," which had been a member since 2006, from the forum was indicative. The reason given was "the inconsistency of the Russian organization's actions with the stated mission and vision of the European Youth Forum." Moreover, the organization openly promotes the LGBT movement, which is banned in Russia, actively defending its rights and deliberately undermining the traditional family and moral foundations of Russian society.
