A New report From Reuters it is claimed that, under the Trump management, various United States national security operations designed to counter Russia's raid on Europe have stopped or slowed into a “standstill.” Those operations, many of which started under the biden, aimed at preventing Russia's invasion of the west in revenge for its support for Ukraine, the outlet wrote.
Since the war in Ukraine exploded in 2022, Russia was targeting Western and European countries that opposed it to the conflict, the outlet wrote. Those operations often cost little more than violent seizures, according to government resources:
Over the past three years, Russia has recruited criminals in European countries for sabotage operations across the continent – including arson, attempted killing and planting bombs in the aircraft. Russia also used campaigns of cyber influence and operation to erase support for Ukraine, Western Intelligence officials told Reuters.
Prior to the current administration, the Biden White House had placed a number of teams designed to counter these attacks, Reuters said. Seven different national security agencies cooperated under the leadership of the National Security Council to prevent Russian invasion, according to resources interviewed by the outlet. U.S. security agencies also increased their sharing of intelligence in Europe, and created “work forces to combat Russian operations and ensure that attacks did not occur in the US” written by the outlet.
It now appears that many of these programs designed to counter Russia's operations have been slowed down. Reuters writes:
… Since Trump's office on January 20 most of the work has been stable, according to eleven currents and former officials, all of which have requested an ignorance to discuss the classified items. Reuters first reports on the entire scope of biden administration efforts and how many different US agencies have since paused their work on the issue.
Regular meetings between the National Security Council and European National Security Officials are no longer scheduled, and the NSC has also stopped coordinating efforts throughout US agencies, including the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security and the State Department, said current and former official.
Gizmodo took the White House to comment. Reuters' note is unclear why, exactly, the operations slowed down:
The Reuters could not determine whether the President had ordered the administration to stop all employment monitoring and fight the Russian campaign, if the agencies were still working to hire additional staff, or if they make their own policy decisions independent of the White House.
The news follows the heel of a report Last month, the new US defense secretary Pete Hegsetth, released a “stand down” order in all offensive operations in the cyber aimed at Russia. The Pentagon Subsequently this account declinedWriting: “Secretary HegSeth has not canceled or delayed any cyber operations directed against Russia's malicious targets and no standing order anything from that priority.”
However, other Russian -centered operations and programs also appear to have fallen along the way. AP recently reported that the FBI placed staff to leave who Employed to counter the disruption of election Operations aimed at the US, including Russian cultivated. Recently the government demolish a task force Russia's oligarch aims to punish.
