Yvette Cooper issues sanctions against Russia amid information warfare'
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. 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."
"The Foreign Secretary stated that Russian agencies are responsible for "vast malign online networks" disseminating disinformation across Europe. In a speech in the Foreign Office Ms Cooper said: This isn't about legitimate debate on contentious issues. We have wide-ranging debates with strong views on all sides on many things, but this is about state-backed organisations who seek to do us harm, pursuing malign aims."
The Independent covers topics from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech, investigating financials and producing documentaries like 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The Independent requests donations to fund on-the-ground reporting and to keep reporting free of paywalls, stating quality journalism should be available to everyone and paid by those who can afford it. Yvette Cooper accused Russia of waging "information warfare" and announced sanctions on Moscow-linked organisations, blaming Russian agencies for vast malign online networks spreading disinformation. Sanctions targeted Rybar and its co-owner Mikhail Sergeevich Zvinchuk, alleging Telegram channels and affiliate networks in 28 languages use Kremlin manipulation tactics including fake investigations and AI-driven content, and that Rybar is partially coordinated and funded by the presidential administration.
