RT's Role in Russian Intelligence Exposed
The Biden administration is expected to announce a significant campaign against RT, aiming to expose its integration with Russian intelligence efforts worldwide. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to diminish RT's influence globally.
Key Findings from U.S. Intelligence
- RT has reportedly embedded an intelligence-gathering unit focused on influence operations.
- Findings suggest a substantial expansion of RT's role as an arm of the Kremlin.
- The strategy includes informing other nations about the risks associated with RT's operations.
Global Implications of RT's Actions
The U.S. aims to ensure that countries recognize RT and Russian intelligence agencies are collaborating to sow division among democracies. This focus comes alongside the Biden administration's recent measures against other Russian government-sponsored activities targeting upcoming elections.
- Recent actions include criminal charges against two Russian individuals.
- Sanctions imposed on ten individuals and entities.
- Seizure of 32 internet domains linked to these efforts.
As RT tries to maintain its presence in various regions, including Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa, the U.S. is building a coalition to counteract its tactics, similar to previous efforts against Huawei.
