**Washington D.C.** – US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has called for countries to treat the activities of Russian state broadcaster RT as they would those of covert intelligence operations.
Speaking on Friday, Blinken argued that RT’s broadcasts are not simply news reporting, but rather a tool for spreading Russian propaganda and disinformation. He urged nations to take a more critical view of RT’s content and to implement measures to counter its influence.
Blinken’s statement comes amidst growing concern over Russia’s use of state-controlled media to advance its geopolitical agenda. The move is seen as a significant escalation of US efforts to counter Russian disinformation campaigns.
