My comments at the arms control PIR co-sponsored round table in Geneva: 1. “The risk of nuclear escalation, event of a nuclear war, is today higher than in recent decades. Needless to say, in today’s reality, escalation involving non-nuclear components, including medium range missile systems, is going on, and we all are witnesses to it. We have a war in Europe – a hybrid war between NATO states and Russia, in which interconnection between ‘nuclear’ and ‘non-nuclear’ has become a sensitive factor of growing importance.”

Official government accounts have also spread fake fact checks. An official Twitter account for the Russia diplomatic mission in Geneva shared a fake debunking video claiming without evidence that "Western and Ukrainian media are creating thousands of fake news on Russia every day."

Members of the public who suspect that they have been approached by unauthorised firms or individuals offering schemes that promise unrealistic returns WhatsApp, a rival messaging platform, introduced some measures to counter disinformation when Covid-19 was first sweeping the world. The news also helped traders look past another report showing decades-high inflation and shake off some of the volatility from recent sessions. The Bureau of Labor Statistics' February Consumer Price Index (CPI) this week showed another surge in prices even before Russia escalated its attacks in Ukraine. The headline CPI — soaring 7.9% over last year — underscored the sticky inflationary pressures reverberating across the U.S. economy, with everything from groceries to rents and airline fares getting more expensive for everyday consumers.
