U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken criticized Russian efforts to spread misinformation during a NATO foreign ministers meeting in Prague. Blinken condemned Moscow's use of misinformation and disinformation, labeling it as a 'poison.' He signed an agreement with the Czech government to combat these tactics, emphasizing the importance of addressing the injection of misinformation into democracies by adversaries.
During his visit to a Czech military base, Blinken observed armored vehicles being sent to Kyiv to aid in the fight against Russia's invasion. He also learned about a Czech initiative to supply Ukraine with a million rounds of ammunition by the end of the year. The U.S. and Czechs signed their 17th agreement with partner nations to tackle misinformation and disinformation, aiming to enhance cooperation in exposing and countering these threats.
