express.co.uk

UK Security Minister Dan Jarvis reported that Russian networks attempted to influence the last General Election with pro-Putin propaganda. However, he stated these efforts did not have a significant impact on the election's outcome. The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office monitored these interference attempts, particularly from a network called Doppelganger, which spreads fake information online. Despite these activities, the government assessed that they did not reach levels that could affect the election. Jarvis emphasized the government's serious approach to these threats and mentioned that they coordinated responses with allies, including the G7. He also indicated he would provide further details on any punitive actions taken against those involved in the interference.
