US imposes new sanctions on Russian state media over allegations of covert intelligence activities
ai generated text
The US State Department has accused Russia's RT network of having cyber-capabilities and has issued new sanctions against the state media outlet. RT's editor-in-chief, Margarita Simonyan, has responded by saying that RT is an excellent teacher. However, State Department officials warn that RT's covert operations represent only a small fraction of Moscow's efforts to undermine democracies globally. The US, Canada, and Britain have also accused RT of acting as an arm of Russia's intelligence agencies, with Secretary of State Antony Blinken stating that RT no longer acts as a simple state-owned news organization, but rather actively carries out covert operations in the US.
It is also engaged in information operations, covert influence, and military procurement. These operations are targeting countries around the world, including in Europe, Africa, and North and South America.
RT employees are leveraging intelligence tactics, front companies, and network technologies to obfuscate their role in these covert efforts.
The United States will always stand for freedom of expression.
Our most powerful antidote to Russia's lies is the truth. It's shining a bright light on what the Kremlin is trying to do under the cover of darkness.
Today, we're exposing how Russia deploys similar tactics around the world.
Russian weaponization of disinformation to subvert and polarize free and open societies extends to every part of the world.
We urge every ally, every partner, to start by treating RT's activities as they do other intelligence activities by Russia within their borders.
In reality the only voice it gives is to Kremlin propagandists.
It's shining a bright light on what the Kremlin is trying to do under the cover of darkness.
All the employees of RT and the editor in chief only obey the orders of the Kremlin! All other orders are toilet paper!
We have done this, are doing this and will do this.
