The Ukrainian Think Tanks Liaison Office in Brussels and the Open Society European Policy Institute are organising a discussion on how to counter propaganda and disinformation, drawing on Ukraine’s experience.

Topics of discussion

Over the past years, Ukraine has been at the forefront of counteracting disinformation campaigns and information warfare, emanating from the Russian federation. It experienced the impact of propaganda, disinformation and hybrid war earlier than most European or American societies. While unique, Ukraine’s experience holds broader lessons for how to tackle these emerging phenomena.

The discussion will build upon the findings of the book: Words and Wars: Ukraine Facing Russian Propaganda, published by Internews Ukraine. The event participants will address the following questions:

• How is Ukraine tackling propaganda and disinformation?

• What lessons can we learn from Ukraine’s experience?

• How could the EU, Ukraine, media professionals and other partners work together to address this issue?

Speakers

• Rikard Jozwiak, Brussels correspondent, Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty

• Iskra Kirova, Senior Policy Analyst, Open Society European Policy Institute

• Andriy Kulakov, Programme Director, Internews Ukraine

• Giles Portman, Head of East Stratcom Task Force, European External Action Service
