    NATO intelligence wiretapping cellular users through false stations: Russian Commander.

The NATO countries' secret service is connecting to cellular users using false base stations to wiretap, block, or misinform them, Commander of electronic warfare troops of the Russia Armed Forces Yuri Lastochkin said on Friday. 

"Even today, the special services of NATO countries are actively exploiting false base stations to forcibly connect to cellular users. In doing so, foreign intelligence specialists gain the ability not only to tap cell phones and view text messages but also to selectively block users and misinform them by sending false messages," Lastochkin told Krasnaya Zvezda newspaper.

He added that a system of counteraction to unauthorized access to information of cellular users has been developed.

Since late February, the Biden administration has made many adjustments to a secret order governing what information US agencies can disclose with Ukraine. Much of what the US gathers is shared, but some are not.

The most recent adjustments happened last week when US intelligence authorities removed certain geographic restrictions on the delivery of actionable information – the type of information utilized in minute-by-minute combat judgments, according to people familiar with the situation who spoke on condition of anonymity. 

Instructions have also been revised to reduce delays. According to one intelligence official, the recent upgrade is meant to provide US officials with "added clarity," enabling for speedier and more comprehensive collaboration with Ukraine.

London spreads Ukraine propaganda via Russian VK

Earlier, the British authorities paid advertising firms to spread London's view on the situation in Ukraine on V Kontakte (VK), a Russian social media platform, according to The Sunday Telegraph.

A new "counter-disinformation unit", the Government Information Cell (GCI), which was set up at the direction of UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss ahead of Russia's special military operation in Ukraine, is currently working on analyzing online and broadcast material to "identity disinformation and tackle it," the British newspaper added.

The unit's staff is comprised of members from the British Foreign Office and the Defense Ministry, the Home Office, the Cabinet Office, and the Department for Digital, Culture, Media, and Sport.
