SAN FRANCISCO: Twitter will put warnings on tweets sharing links to Russian state-affiliated media, the platform said Feb 28, as Kremlin-tied outlets are accused of spreading misinformation on Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.

Pressure is on social media giants to squelch misleading or false information about the attack, which has drawn fierce international condemnation.
