The US State Department has announced a reward of up to $10 million for information on the Russian media organization Rybar LLC, which is accused of interfering in the US elections. Rybar, a military media outlet associated with the late Russian mogul Yevgeny Prigozhin, manages social media channels such as HOLDTHELINE and STANDWTHTEXAS to promote Russian government interests in the US. The reward aims to prevent or disrupt foreign election interference, particularly ahead of the 2024 US Presidential Election.
