Russia's use of disinformation to further its own goals and weaken its perceived adversaries has been widely documented. Russian disinformation operations have been implicated in several key elections around the world, including the 2016 U.S. presidential election and the Brexit vote in the U.K. in the same year.

There have been concerns that such efforts will be repeated in 2024 as dozens of countries are set to hold elections.
