Russia has been waging a disinformation campaign to slow progress with 5G adoption in the U.S., according to disinfo experts and this New York Times story. Stories raising red flags about purported health risks of 5G, not supported by science or the World Health Organization, are often tracked back to Russian entities. The claim that the European Union has banned 5G technology is also false. The United States and China are also actively developing 5G technology. While Israeli companies are actively developing 5G tech, it's not accurate to say that they invented it.
