Propaganda is at the forefront of Russia’s aggression against Ukraine. This war began with Vladimir Putin’s hour-long address to the nation, where he manipulated the facts and mentioned narratives on which the modern Russian foreign policy and state truth stand.
Russian propaganda is an integral part of the Russian military machine, which has already claimed the lives of thousands of Ukrainians and threatens the entire civilized public. As a result, Russians who learn the truth from the state media live in an alternative reality. The Russian army is portrayed as triumphant, loss-less and humane. In contrast, it’s the Ukrainian army that is committing atrocities, killing civilians, sustaining heavy losses and losing territory to the Russian forces.
How does Russian propaganda work during the war with Ukraine and how to counter it? Leading experts from various fields are ready to share their observations and ideas in Ukraine in Flames #34.
