SS: The UK slapped sanctions on Dec 10, 2025, against Russian disinformation engines—like Dugin’s Center for Geopolitical Expertise and GRU-front Rybar Telegram channel—for AI-fueled fake news eroding Ukraine support, plus two unnamed Chinese cyber firms running indiscriminate hacks on Western infrastructure. Foreign Secretary Cooper branded it “information warfare” amid hybrid threats from manipulated videos to election meddling in Moldova, tying into Locarno Treaties’ centennial pledge for Euro-peace. With Trump 2.0 rattling NATO and Rubio reaffirming U.S. ties, does this London salvo pioneer hybrid deterrence against Sino-Russian ops, or expose the West’s lag in countering cheap digital sabotage that outpaces sanctions in a multipolar info-battlefield?
