The United States has announced a suspension of certain efforts aimed at countering Russian sabotage and cyberattacks, coinciding with growing ties between the Trump administration and President Putin. Reports indicate that the U.S. is easing its measures against Russian disinformation and hybrid warfare activities, suggesting a significant shift in cybersecurity policy. Government officials are divided on the implications of this change, with some expressing concerns that it may compromise national security. This lack of focus on Russia as a cyber threat comes as the U.S. claims to bolster its own cybersecurity dominance, raising questions about the geopolitical fallout from potentially reducing its defensive posture against Russian aggression.
