An investigation is examining claims that Russian-linked operations have been involved in spreading false information online about the UK, Ukraine and other countries.
The report focuses in particular on whether Andy Burnham is right to attribute online disinformation to Russia. The supplied material does not provide further details about the comments, the specific information campaigns under examination or the evidence cited in support of the claims.
The review forms part of an examination by BBC Verify into the use of online operations to circulate false information across national borders. Its scope includes material relating to Britain, Ukraine and other unnamed countries.
No additional findings, responses or developments are provided in the available material. The central issue remains the extent to which Russian-linked activity can be connected to the spread of disinformation and whether the attribution made by Mr Burnham is supported by the evidence examined.
