Kremlin says UK Burnham's decision to stir up anti-Russian sentiment in UN speech was short-sighted
- On Tuesday, British Prime Minister Andy Burnham addressed the United Nations General Assembly in New York, announcing London would establish a new National Centre for Information Defence to combat disinformation while singling out Moscow.
- Burnham stated that Britain and its allies have faced an "industrial-scale assault" by hostile states designed to "prey on people's fear," citing Russian interference with the 2019 general election as evidence.
- Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov criticized the announcement on Wednesday, labeling Britain's approach "flawed" and arguing it fosters "total Russophobia" rather than pursuing de-escalation in Europe.
- Peskov claimed that in "unison with Britain," the Germans and French are adopting this "utterly short-sighted policy," which he argues does nothing to reduce tensions across Europe.
- Marking ten years since Brexit, Burnham claimed this period of internal struggle gives Britain a unique perspective to help other countries address state-sponsored disinformation globally.
