RUSSIA'S COVERT INFO WAR | THE WORLD DECIPHERED EP. 5
There is concern this week about Russian Active Measures and Information Operations as officials at the U.S. Department of Justice shared details from a 32-page indictment accusing the Kremlin of pouring millions of dollars into a media company in an effort to influence U.S. opinion. Today, we’re talking with someone who knows a lot about Russian covert and information operations - Cipher Brief Expert and former senior member of the British Foreign Office Nick Fishwick, about Russia’s success in running operations abroad.
Also in the show, Cipher Brief Chief International Correspondent Ia Muermishvili from Tblisi, where she sat down with two Eastern European leaders who are calling on western countries that are supporting Ukraine’s efforts to defend itself from Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine - to lift restrictions on Ukraine's use of long-range weapons to target Russian airfields deep inside Russian territory. Chairman of Estonian Parliament's foreign relation committee tells us that Russia, under President Putin's leadership, aims to reshape the geopolitical landscape in Eastern Europe and alter the global order. Marko Mihkelson highlights Russia's efforts to form alliances with China, Iran, and North Korea, which on a global level aligns with China's broader strategic interests. Speaking about his perception of the post-election U.S. policy towards Russia, Rihards Kols argues that showing fear towards Russia and accommodating its demands could signal weakness. He emphasizes that the outcome of the war in Ukraine will directly impact the future national security of the United States, urging U.S. leaders to understand the importance of a decisive response to Russia's actions.
