Great to see EU’s first-time use of designations under its Russia hybrid sanctions framework. Russia continues to use illicit tactics, including disinformation, to destabilize security globally and undermine our values. We appreciate U.S.-EU collaboration to counter them.

[State Department Spokesperson 2013-2025 @statedeptspox_a]

The U.S. welcomes the EU’s 15th Russia sanctions package, including measures against PRC firms, designations to counter Russia’s global hybrid actions, and more sanctions against human rights abusers in Belarus. Strong U.S.-EU sanctions coordination promotes accountability.

The new sanctions framework announced by the @EUCouncil is an important tool that will advance our shared commitment to countering the Kremlin’s hybrid threats that undermine peace and security, especially the persistent threat of Russian #disinformation operations.

[Secretary Antony Blinken @SecBlinken]

On my way to watch @POTUS deliver remarks at the UN General Assembly in New York. When the president took office, he was determined to restore, rebuild and rejuvenate our alliances and partnerships. This week at UNGA, we are reminded of how he's done just that.

Russian state-funded RT (formerly “Russia Today”) is not just a Kremlin media outlet. It is a cover for Russian covert information and influence operations and military procurement.

Today, we announced our first trilateral project, which includes partners from @dstlmod and @DRDC_RDDC. Together we will pursue research, development, test, and evaluation technologies for AI, and cybersecurity-related technologies. More: https://t.co/3In38ZRHVp

Kremlin-backed media outlets like RT are engaged in covert influence activities aimed at undermining elections and democracies worldwide, functioning like a de facto arm of Russia’s intelligence apparatus. More: https://t.co/9K0mfuJGif

Russia spreads #disinformation to conceal its violations of the Chemical Weapons Convention, including the use of the #ChemicalWeapon chloropicrin against Ukrainian troops.

The Kremlin’s use of #ChemicalWeapons in #Ukraine flies in the face of the Chemical Weapons Convention.  Responsible world powers uphold international law, they don’t violate it and lie to escape responsibility.

(3/3) “It is deceitful that a purported media outlet would use AI tools to create fake personas online and promote Russian disinformation. Fortunately, @TheJusticeDept has taken swift action in coordination with our partners in Canada and the Netherlands against this pernicious threat.”

[Global Engagement Center @TheGEC]

(1/3) Special Envoy and Coordinator James P. Rubin: “As @TheJusticeDept announced yesterday, Kremlin mouthpiece RT is using AI tools to expand their ability to pollute the global information environment and undermine democracy.”

(2/3) "This capability is deeply troubling because of its potential to accelerate Russia’s disinformation efforts abroad, especially after the disinformation campaigns we saw and exposed in Latin America, Europe, and Africa."
