According to TASS, Senator Rob Portman noted that in the information field Russia is superior to the West, just as Russian forces are superior to Ukrainian ones.

He asked Brink what the US should do to “better counter Russian attempts to justify” a military sting operation in Ukraine.

"I agree with you.

We have been outmatched and outplayed.

We must put in as much effort as possible.

It's a challenge," Brink replied.

Earlier, the press service of the White House National Security Council reported that the United States was imposing sanctions on Russian TV channels - First, Rossiya-1 and NTV.

It is clarified that companies from the United States will no longer be able to cooperate with TV channels.

U.S. Republican Senator Rand Paul has called the U.S. government the biggest spreader of disinformation in history.
