Russia’s Disinformation Campaign: Putin Fake News Out There

In spite of varying opinions on disinformation, some experts argue that its effects on our democracies and the international security landscape remain widely underestimated. In the first segment, Mina speaks to Dr. Peter Loewen about Russia's disinformation campaign as a form of hybrid warfare, how it's affecting democratic nations and its implications for policymakers. Marie then speaks to Dr. Maxim Alyukov to explore Russia's disinformation apparatus. How and why does the Kremlin spread disinformation? What are the consequences of disinformation on Russian politics and Russian society? And how has Russian disinformation affected domestic perspectives of the War in Ukraine?
