The UK announced sanctions against Russian media and ideas outlets on Tuesday as the country's foreign minister warned Western nations must raise their game to combat information warfare from "malign foreign states."
Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper said the UK was imposing sanctions on the microblogging Telegram channel Rybar, the Foundation for the Support and Protection of the Rights of Compatriots Living Abroad, which has been described by Estonian intelligence as a front for Russia's GRU spy agency, and the Centre for Geopolitical Expertise, a think-tank run by far-right Russian writer Aleksandr Dugin.
