U.S. State Department accused a Kremlin news outlet of working hand-in-hand with the Russian military
U.S. Secretary of State, Antony Blinken said RT is a key part of Russia ’s war machine and its efforts to undermine its democratic adversaries.The U.S. State Department announced new sanctions on Russia n state media Friday, accusing a Kremlin news outlet of working hand-in-hand with the Russia n military and running fundraising campaigns to pay for sniper rifles, body armor and other equipment for soldiers fighting in Ukraine .
“RT wants its new covert intelligence capabilities, like its longstanding propaganda disinformation efforts, to remain hidden,” Blinken said Friday. “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.”
The crowd-sourcing effort ran on Russian social media platforms and sought to raise funds for military supplies, some of which were procured in China, officials said. There were no obvious connections between RT and the fundraising campaign, or any indication that Chinese officials knew their products were being sold to Russia.
Russia’s global propaganda work is receiving extra scrutiny in the months leading up to the U.S. election. Last week, the Biden administration seized Kremlin-run websites and charged two RT employees with covertly paying a Tennessee company nearly $10 million for its content.
