UK Sanctions Russian, Chinese Entities Over Disinformation, Cyber Threats

The UK has put sanctions on some Russian and Chinese groups.

These groups are accused of spreading false information and doing cyber attacks.

One Russian group, Rybar, is said to use fake news and AI to support Russia's views.

Another group, Pravfond, is accused of helping Russian spies and paying for lawyers for bad people.

A Russian thinker, Alexander Dugin, and his group were also sanctioned.

The UK also targeted two Chinese companies for cyber attacks.

The UK says these actions are to protect their country and allies from these threats.
