U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Thursday assailed Russian attempts to sow discord in democracies with misinformation after hinting the Biden administration may soon allow Ukraine to use American-supplied munitions to strike inside Russia.

He said the agreement with the Czechs — the 17th such accord the U.S. has signed with partner nations - would help “to effectively deal with misinformation and disinformation, which is a poison being injected into our democracies by our adversaries.” “We are facing confrontation between democracies and autocracies,” Lipavsky said. “The Kremlin has started targeting democracies all around the world with cyber warfare, propaganda and influence operations and this danger simply cannot be underestimated anymore.”
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and support for Ukrainian attempts to repel it will be a major focus of the NATO foreign minister meetings on Thursday and Friday — the alliance’s last major diplomatic gathering before a leaders’ summit in Washington in July to mark the 75th anniversary of its founding. That position appears to be being reconsidered, and Blinken noted that it was a “hallmark” of the Biden administration’s stance on Ukraine to “adapt and adjust” as needed. Blinken visited Kyiv earlier this month and heard a direct appeal from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to use U.S. military assistance to strike positions in Russia from where attacks on Ukraine are launched.
