THE BATTLE FOR TRUTH
Combating Russian Propaganda and Disinformation on Ukraine:
A Live Conversation with Deputy Secretary of Ukraine's National Security Council Viktoria Siumar
 
Since the Maidan protests began in November of last year, Russia has released a barrage of disinformation against Ukraine. The Kremlin's most important instruments in the battle for Ukraine are the Internet, newspapers and television, including an arsenal of pundits and journalists around the world intent on creating an alternative discourse to the truth. Can Ukraine tell its story in the face of such an overwhelming assault?

Join our webcast with Ukrainian National Security Council Deputy Secretary Viktoria Siumar, a seasoned journalist and media specialist, to discuss these issues and more. Ms. Siumar is the former director of the Institute of Mass Information and the founder of the Stop Censorship journalist advocacy group.
