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.
The U.S. Department of State is leading an interagency task force to help people all over the world know the origin of the images, videos, and audios they see online, and quickly identify AI-generated or manipulated media.

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.

(1/5) February 27, 2014, Russia seized the Crimean parliament building and started its aggression against Ukraine. On February 24, 2022, the Kremlin launched a full-scale war on Ukraine. The Kremlin manipulates history in an attempt to justify its unjustifiable imperialist war.
(2/5) The Kremlin cannot hide the truth. For 32 years, the international community has recognized Ukraine as an independent state. On August 24, 1991, Ukraine’s parliament resoundingly voted for independence from the USSR, fulfilling the longstanding aspirations of the people of Ukraine after multiple attempts to achieve sovereignty, five of them in the 20th century.
