US Warns of Russian Disinformation Surge Ahead of Elections
Russian disinformation campaigns are intensifying ahead of the 2024 U.S. elections, aiming to destabilize the electoral process and increase domestic discord. Research by Antibot4Navalny highlights two major campaigns, Matryoshka and Doppelganger, spreading false narratives about election fraud and targeting Vice President Kamala Harris. These efforts are part of a broader strategy to distract U.S. elites from international issues like aid to Ukraine. State officials and tech companies are working to counter these threats, which are expected to persist beyond Election Day.
