UK Adds Russia to Top Tier of Foreign Influence Registration Scheme

Russia will be placed on the top level of the Government's Foreign Influence Registration Scheme to protect the UK from foreign influence, announced security minister Dan Jarvis.
The new scheme aims to provide transparency and aid in detecting harmful foreign activities against the UK, following years of hostile actions from Russia that threaten national security.
The Firs is set to go live on July 1, 2025, after a delay from its original expected launch in 2024, as stated by the Home Office.
