The US State Department has offered a $10 million reward for information leading to foreign entities engaging in election interference, specifically citing Russian media organization Rybar LLC. The announcement alleges that Rybar used social media to spread propaganda and stoke division ahead of the US election, with ties to Russia's defense industrial organization Rostec.
Rybar operates a popular Telegram channel focused on Ukraine-related news and has been linked to nine individuals allegedly involved in "malign influence operations." The State Department is encouraging anyone with relevant knowledge to come forward.
