On Friday, February 6 at 11:00 a.m. ET, the Atlantic Council’s Eurasia Center will host a discussion featuring Ruslan Stefanchuk, chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, on Russian narratives around its war against Ukraine versus the reality on the ground.
In the face of Russia’s brutal ongoing assault, Ukraine has demonstrated remarkable and steadfast resistance. The Kremlin has attempted to undermine perceptions of Ukraine’s resilience by flooding the information space with false narratives of Russia’s supposedly inevitable victory. However, Ukrainians have mostly held the front lines in place—fighting a battle not only in the trenches, but also online and in the media as Russia’s narratives aim to denigrate Ukraine’s resistance and right to exist.
This conversation, moderated by Ambassador John Herbst, will explore Russia’s campaign to shape the narrative of its war on Ukraine.
New policy: In-person attendees will be required to show photo ID upon arrival, and no on-site registration will be permitted. Guests will not be admitted later than twenty minutes after the event’s start time. Registration for this event will close at 5:00 p.m. ET the day prior.
