Information warfare has become a phenomenon much talked about in recent years, and Ukraine's experience is often quoted as a case in point. Since 2014 and Ukraine's "Revolution of Dignity," Ukraine has been grappling with external and internal communication attacks on its society and state institutions. How has this communications warfare shaped its politics, and what can other countries learn from it?
In his talk, Dmytro Kuleba will analyse Russia’s meddling in Ukraine, the fragmentation of society by the means of communications, challenges of the perception of Ukraine in the West, the problem of fake news.
The talk will be moderated by Marina Pesenti, Director of Ukrainian Institute London.
This event will be held in English.
