UK spy chief says Putin is losing information war

Russia has failed to gain ground in cyberspace against Ukraine almost six months after its invasion of the country, Qazet.az reports according to the head of Britain's GCHQ intelligence service.

Jeremy Fleming, the intelligence head, in an op-ed in The Economist, wrote that both countries have been using their cyber capabilities in the war in Ukraine.

"So far, president Putin has comprehensively lost the information war in Ukraine and in the West. Although that's cause for celebration, we should not underestimate how Russian disinformation is playing out elsewhere in the world," Fleming wrote.
