Microsoft Sees Slowdown in Russia, China Efforts to Sway US Vote

... Russia is working to undermine US support for Ukraine ahead of the 2024 election, while Chinese influence campaigns aim to divide Americans and undercut their faith in democracy, according to new research from Microsoft Corp.
But both countries' persistent efforts to shape American politics through propaganda and cyberattacks have been less pronounced during this year's election cycle than they were in 2016 and 2020, the company said in a report published Wednesday. It also found that widespread fears of voters being influenced by deepfake videos made with artificial intelligence haven't yet happened, while simpler efforts have been more persuasive.
Representatives for the Chinese and Russian embassies in Washington didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.
Microsoft researchers found several "Russia-affiliated" efforts to push disinformation to hurt Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy or cause Americans to question their government's support for Ukraine as it continues to battle Russia's 2022 invasion. These campaigns have been conducted in English and Spanish, and they often take the form of purported whistleblowers or amateur journalists posting disinformation that is then covered by seemingly unaffiliated websites, the report states.
Microsoft found that the most prolific pushers of these narratives "are backed by or affiliated with" the administration of Russian President Vladimir Putin and that the disinformation gets taken up by Americans who are likely unaware of its source. The company also said it's observed an uptick in recent months of a hacking group affiliated with the Russian military targeting Western policy think tanks. ...
A defeat for Ukraine, he said, "means that many will stop fearing challenging the U.S." and the costs for the United States will only increase.

Hungary far-right would lay claim to neighbouring region if Ukraine loses warwww.reuters.com
BUDAPEST, Jan 28 (Reuters) - Hungary's far-right Our Homeland party would lay claim to a western region of Ukraine that is home to about 150,000 ethnic Hungarians if Ukraine loses its statehood due to Russia's invasion, the party's leader said late on Saturday.
Our Homeland leader Laszlo Toroczkai made the remarks at a conference where the party, which has six lawmakers in the 199-strong Hungarian parliament, hosted far-right leaders from Germany's AfD and the Dutch Forum for Democracy, among others.
"Regarding the war in Ukraine, our message is very simple: immediate ceasefire, peace and a resolution through talks," Toroczkai said in a video posted on his party's website, calling for autonomy for ethnic Hungarians in western Ukraine.
"If this war ends up with Ukraine losing its statehood, because this is also on the cards, then as the only Hungarian party taking this position, let me signal that we lay claim to Transcarpathia," he said, drawing applause from the crowd.
