Russian disinformation targets US far right to undermine support for Ukraine.

Russia has been using new disinformation themes and tactics to weaken US support for Ukraine, with the help of conservative media stars and some Republicans in Congress. Moscow's disinformation messages have included conspiracy theories about US bioweapon labs in Ukraine and portraying Putin as an ally in backing traditional values. Alternative social media platforms have been increasingly used to spread Russian falsehoods. Pro-Russian messages focused on the economic costs of the war for the US have been echoed by Republicans in the far-right House Freedom Caucus. Democrats are worried about the embrace of pro-Kremlin disinformation by the American right.
