The U.S. and U.K. intelligence communities have repeatedly tried to"pre-bunk" Russian military plans and their disinformation campaigns surrounding the war in Ukraine.
Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines noted in a Thursday interview on BBC Radio 4 with Sir Jeremy Fleming, U.K. Director of GCHQ, that authoritarian regimes have an"asymmetric advantage" in"effectively controlling the information to their populations," though the U.S. and U.K. have since worked to combat that, though there have been limitations in their success.
"I watch our conversation kind of moving forward and recognized how important the battle is over the information space in so many different areas for our society and this sort of competition between authoritarian states and democratic states, this is among the key pillars I think that we're sort of trying to manage in these areas," she explained.
"We obviously tried to counter disinformation that the Russians were looking to put out — we saw that they were looking to create a pretext for invasion, and we were looking to debunk that and help people understand that this was a false narrative," the DNI added."By finding ways to declassify certain information while still protecting our sources and methods, so we don’t lose the access that is so critical to our work.
In October, Russia claimed Ukraine was preparing to use a radioactive"dirty bomb," while the U.S., U.K., and France issued a joint statement calling the allegation a “pretext for escalation by Russia.” In August, Ukraine accused Russia of planning to stage what would look like a “large-scale terrorist attack” on the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant and falsely blamed Ukraine for endangering Europe.
