U.S. government cables reveal that Kremlin-controlled media outlets have intensified efforts in Latin America to sow distrust toward the United States and bolster support for Russia. The recently declassified documents indicate a strategic shift by Russian state media to target specific regions, including Mexico, as part of a broader geopolitical strategy. The RT control room in Moscow, dating back to 2018, illustrates the infrastructure and operations behind these disinformation campaigns. Mexican audiences have been a focus of Russian media expansion, with outlets such a La Jornada and El Universal reporting on increased Russian influence.
