German NTV Channel: Moscow is said to be behind the virus propaganda

The US government has accused Russia of being behind a massive intelligence campaign on the Corona virus. US officials told AFP: Thousands of Russian-controlled accounts on online platforms are spreading false theories and conspiracies about the virus, thereby preventing the fight against the disease.

"Russia's goal is to explore divisions and weaken US institutions and alliances from inside through destructive measures," said Philip Reeker, the EU's deputy head of the US State Department. Popular claims that the epidemic is part of the "US economic war against China". American citizens such as Microsoft founder Bill Gates were also targeted by the infamous campaign and accused of developing the disease.

State Department officials emphasized that the current action would not only harm the United States, but most importantly make it harder to fight the virus.
