The Biden administration has declassified evidence revealing that a Russian intelligence unit embedded within the state media network RT has been actively involved in gathering global intelligence for the Kremlin. This information was made public by the State Department, which launched a significant effort to counter the global influence of RT and expose its role in Russian intelligence and influence operations worldwide.
According to the Secretary of State, much of the new information was obtained from RT employees. The declassified US intelligence provided by the State Department disclosed that a Russian cyber and intelligence unit had been embedded in RT since 2023. While officials did not confirm if the unit is still present within RT, it was able to collect information and share it with Russian intelligence.
