In the published document, the G7 countries “expressed their concern” about the growing threats posed by foreign interference, including disinformation “aimed at disrupting democratic processes and destabilizing societies”.
“We strongly condemn Russia for the widespread dissemination of disinformation and the manipulation of information to garner support,” RIA Novosti quotes the text of the document.
