US Offers $10 Million Reward for Information on Russian Media Outlet Rybar

The US government targets Rybar for allegedly sowing discord and promoting pro-Russian narratives ahead of the November presidential election.

Rybar, a Russian media outlet with over 1.3 million Telegram subscribers, is accused of promoting social division and pro-Russian narratives in the US.
The US Department of State's Rewards for Justice program is offering up to $10 million for information on Rybar and its key individuals.
Rybar is reportedly funded by Rostec, a Russian state defense company under US sanctions since 2022, and was previously supported by the late Yevgeny Prigozhin.
The outlet is said to operate social media channels like #HOLDTHELINE and #STANDWTHTEXAS to influence US political discourse.
The reward offer is part of a broader US effort to combat alleged Russian interference in the upcoming presidential election.
