Ep 2: Olga Tokariuk
Description
Ukrainian journalist Olga Tokariuk speaks to Nicola from a bomb shelter in the west of the country.
She describes the tentacles of the Russian propaganda machine and the sophisticated disinformation war that has been waged in Ukraine since 2014; journalist safety, including the deliberate targeting of journalists and those killed, kidnapped and disappeared; and how best to get impartial information out to the world.
Olga says: "War is not only waged on the battlefield with tanks and military vehicles and missiles and air defence systems; it's also waged in the media space. Russia has been waging this war against Ukraine since at least 2014, when it understood that Ukraine is slipping away from them and they are not able to control it the way they used to."
