Last Friday, the White House released the President’s ‘Cyber Strategy for America’, outlining national priorities for cyber policy and practice.

Included in this short strategy was an ambition to:
‘unleash the private sector by creating incentives to identify and disrupt adversary networks and scale our national capabilities’

‘establish a new level of relationship between the public and private sectors to defend America in peace and war.’
It is unclear what specific models this may entail; however, the strategy ultimately conveys a desire to further consolidate public-private partnership in offensive cyber activities.

🚨🧵New RUSI Report, ‘Criminal Infiltration of Mineral Supply Chains: Lessons from Gold for Critical Minerals’ by @JennyScotland_ is out now!
rusi.org/explore-our-re…
The gold sector serves as a cautionary example of how soaring commodity prices, weak governance, and poor traceability can create lucrative opportunities for organised crime and conflict actors.
These groups infiltrate artisanal and small-scale mining communities, causing severe environmental damage, driving violence, and using the precious metal as a primary vehicle for money laundering.

The report investigates the longstanding issues of money laundering, fraud, and corruption within professional football.

🚨🧵New RUSI report, 'The Case for Greater Mission Specialisation by NATO’s European Air Forces' by @Justin_Br0nk is out now.
rusi.org/explore-our-re…
European NATO air forces rely on the US for many high-end capabilities, but with the US (at best) increasingly focused on the Indo-Pacific, Europe must enhance its own capabilities.
Achieving and maintaining air superiority is crucial for repelling wider Russian aggression. This requires the ability to suppress and destroy Russian air defences and combat aircraft.

🚨🧵New RUSI Whitehall report, 'Did Wagner Succeed in the Eyes of its African and Middle Eastern Clients?' by @AntonioGiustoz2, Dr Joana de Deus Pereira and @david_g_lewis is out now!
rusi.org/explore-our-re…
The #Wagner Group have delivered a range of services to Mali, the Central African Republic, Mozambique, and Syria. But why did the governments of these countries seek Wagner’s services, and how did these countries assess their work?
The general perception has been that Wagner’s success was due to its willingness to provide regime survival packages to whoever was willing to pay. The reality is more complex.

🚨New RUSI Report, ‘Preliminary Lessons from Ukraine’s Offensive Operations, 2022–23’ by @Jack_Watling, Oleksandr V Danylyuk and Nick Reynolds is out now.
rusi.org/explore-our-re…
In 2023, #Ukraine launched an offensive operation to break through Russian defence lines - the operation failed to achieve any of its objectives.
