UK is under attack from Putin's cyber army, warns Yvette Cooper
"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"Across Europe we are witnessing an escalation in hybrid threats from physical through to cyber designed to weaken critical national infrastructure, undermine our interests and interfere in our democracies all for the advantage of malign foreign states. By flooding social media with generative AI and manipulated videos, they can gradually undermine support for our major allies like Ukraine with lies hitting our collective resolve to support Ukraine's resistance to Russia's illegal invasion."
The Independent funds on-the-ground journalism covering reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech while keeping reporting freely accessible. Donations enable continued reporter deployment to speak to both sides and avoid paywalls, relying on support from those who can afford it. Yvette Cooper will warn that Britain and Europe must urgently unite to confront escalating attacks by Russia and other hostile states. Hybrid threats across Europe now range from physical assaults to cyber operations aimed at weakening critical national infrastructure and interfering in democracies. Generative AI and manipulated videos are being used to flood social media with lies that can erode support for allies like Ukraine. Sir Keir Starmer led a mini summit to try to prevent Ukraine being forced into a humiliating deal to get peace with Russia.
