This was stated by Secretary of State Michael Pompeo at a hearing in the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
“The State Department is requesting $ 138 million in the budget for fiscal year 2021 for the operation of the Center for Global Engagement - more than double the current level. We will not tolerate disinformation and other propaganda led by the Kremlin or any of our other opponents, ”TASS quotes him.
According to Pompeo, Russia is a "destabilizing authoritarian force" operating "in Ukraine, Syria, Libya, as well as within Western democracies."
In May it became known that the State Department will allocate $ 140 thousand to help the Balkan states in the fight against "disinformation", including "Russian".
