In recent years, Ukraine has been at the forefront of counteracting Russian disinformation campaigns as a new type of war is taking place, a hybrid war that includes the spread of disinformation, rumors, and propaganda attempting to undermine social moral, cohesion, and beliefs. Disinformation campaigns have been a major tool applied consistently in previous years as crises intensify. Though it remains a constant threat that continues to be exploited and used.
Digital Communication Network Global is organizing an online discussion on "Russian Disinformation Campaigns in Ukraine: A Hybrid War Challenge'' with distinguished speakers and experts from DFRLab, Bellingcat, and Mythos Labs.
During the webinar, well-known speakers from all over the world will discuss and present their views on the topic, its importance, the impact of propaganda on Ukraine, and the perceptions constructed around this major crisis.
