Russia's election influence efforts are increasingly sophisticated, officials warn

U.S. intelligence officials report that Russia's covert efforts to influence the 2024 presidential election are more sophisticated than in previous cycles, utilizing "authentic" U.S. voices to spread propaganda. Moscow is targeting swing states and employing artificial intelligence to create fake content. Recent actions include indictments of Russian operatives and sanctions against entities involved in these influence campaigns, which aim to undermine U.S. support for Ukraine.
