London: The UK government’s Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC) revealed in a report on Tuesday that Russia sees the country as one of its “top targets” in the West.

The London-based ISC’s inquiry covers a number of topics, including disinformation campaigns, cyber tactics and Russian expatriates in the UK, the BBC reported.

But much of the “highly sensitive” detail will not be published due to fears Russia could use the evidence to threaten the UK.

The long-awaited report said Russian influence in the UK was “the new normal”, and accused successive governments of welcoming the country’s oligarchs “with open arms”.

It said the UK was “clearly a target” for disinformation campaigns around its elections and called for an “immediate action”. (IANS)
