Description

Russian disinformation and foreign influence campaigns have increasingly become defining features of today’s information landscape. Their reach extends beyond Ukraine, shaping debates around the globe, including in the United States, Southeast Asia, and Australia.

With democratic trust and resilience under increasing strain, this event will explore:

  • The tactics and narratives commonly used in Russian disinformation campaigns.
  • The impact of these campaigns across different regions.
  • How governments, civil society, and communities can strengthen resilience against foreign influence.

To discuss these questions, USSC hosted an expert discussion featuring Ukrainian Ambassador to Australia, His Excellency Vasyl Myroshnychenko, ex-career diplomat and strategic communications specialist, Natalia Solieva, and University of Sydney Senior Lecturer in Digital Cultures, Dr Olga Boichak, moderated by USSC Director of Strategic Technologies, Olivia Shen.
