During a recent government meeting, discussions centered on the covert operations of RT (Russia Today) and its implications for international elections. A key focus was on the use of crowdfunding mechanisms, which were described as operating in secrecy, potentially within dark web spaces rather than through conventional platforms like GoFundMe.

Peggy, a participant in the meeting, emphasized that while the crowdfunding aspect is noteworthy, it is not the most significant element of RT's activities. Instead, she highlighted RT's role as an arm of the Russian government, engaging in operations that aim to influence elections in various countries, including Argentina, Germany, and France.

The conversation also touched on the potential for RT to manipulate electoral outcomes and incite violence if their preferred candidates do not succeed. This manipulation could lead to attempts at destabilizing governments, particularly in regions like Moldova, where Russian influence is evident.

Overall, the meeting underscored concerns about foreign interference in democratic processes and the strategic use of media and technology by state actors to achieve political ends.
