Today Russia follows the path of self-isolation. Media owners should be encouraged to uphold their civic stance.Ĥ) An important question is foreign broadcasting on information space of Russia.

Some Ukrainian TV channels are also infamous for their controversial content which is fuelled by Russian propaganda. The speed and urgency of communication is extremely important and war should be addressed with extraordinary measures.ģ) It is important to block and ban those TV channels which spread hatred and war-mongering. It is time to make adjustments in the decision-making system to counter Russia’s pressure. We must inform the public about what is really happening there.Ģ) Decision-making in Russia is faster than in Ukraine. Russia itself is facing much deeper problems, stemming from such issues as: religions, languages, social, national, ethnic groups and economy. War is not only about defense and attack on what threatens us directly it’s a war that should be waged on enemy territory. It is a widespread belief that the truth is always a defense, but sometimes the truth should be made a weapon of offense. It is necessary to expose the problems Russia is facing. Here is what we should do:ġ) Resorting to defense leads to defeat. Ukraine has so far been resorting to defensive methods. Ukraine should take action to counteract the Russian warfare tactics. Only then can a territory be fully conquered. Information campaigns and semantic wars, however, have that power by winning over the minds of the people. The Kremlin understands very well that wars cannot be won without the consent of the population. Putin thus needs to influence those who do not side with him, hence the recourse to information warfare and pro-Russian propaganda in Ukraine. However, the Russians cannot secure a total victory because only a portion of Ukraine supports what is going on in Crimea. Starting a hybrid war (we remember the little green men on our side of the border), Russia caught Ukrainian forces off guard, which highly demoralized the Ukrainian population. This is the way Russian media manipulators work and wage information warfare against Ukraine, by appealing to old stereotypes which in turn create a threatening image of Ukraine. It came to a point that Russian media manipulators even resorted to the creation of fictitious news about Ukraine via simulation and actors. These images were the result of video editing tricks which contribute to forming a chain of negative reactions in Russia. Russian media have been featuring some footage of Ukrainian soldiers whose helmets were decorated with SS signs. In recent years, Russian media have been increasingly referring to the Ukrainians as Nazi sympathizers, a rhetoric which dates back to the Second World War’s Russian imagery. By using a smart combination of words and images, and by continuously repeating the same information, it becomes reality, making disinformation hard to fight.

They have the potential to trigger emotions, which leaves no place for rational reasoning. Images, shared on TV for example, are much easier for us to grasp than words, and they often speak much louder than words. Only 15% of information is perceived consciously while the rest is perceived unconsciously.

Information warfare is the way to use data to influence people’s minds in order to make them join your cause. We have indeed learnt a great deal from the two conferences we hosted at the end of last year.īy analyzing what is at play, by looking at research on information warfare, it is possible to see that what is going on in Ukraine fits with the definition of information warfare.
