Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has curtailed the reach of Russian state media in the U.S., forcing the Kremlin to use other avenues to reach Americans and other Western audiences, according to a recent Department of Homeland Security intelligence assessment obtained by Yahoo News.
However, the bulletin notes that English-language state media in China have provided an avenue for Russian disinformation and misinformation to maintain its influence. “Russia is just going to have to get more creative. They’re going to have to rely in some respects on countries like China to do their bidding,” the official, who requested anonymity to discuss internal agency assessments, said. DHS declined Yahoo News’ request for comment.
“They’re struggling, when you look at those aggregate numbers, to find the same audience that they were before the war,” he said. Specifically, Schafer said he remains concerned about Russia’s ability to influence political campaigns through hacking or hack-and-leak operations, which would essentially use intelligence services to obtain compromising information about a candidate that could then be leaked through various channels, such as a U.S. media outlet.
