The US earlier slapped sanctions on the Rossiya Segodnya media group, which includes RIA Novosti, RT, Sputnik and Ruptly, in what the White House said was a response to Russia’s alleged “malign influence efforts targeting the 2024 US presidential election."
CNN has taken aim at the US-based company Tenet Media which is allegedly funded by “Russian operatives working as part of a Kremlin-orchestrated influence operation to target the 2024 US vote.” The firm is linked to right-wing commentators with millions of subscribers on YouTube and other social media platforms, per CNN.
