Moderator: Monica Kaminska

Keir Giles

| Andrzej Kozlowski | Maartje Peters | Alden Wahlstrom

This roundtable will discuss Russian cyber and information operations in the context of the war in Ukraine. Speakers will consider the following questions: How is Russia using information operations to sow division in the west on Ukraine? What types of cyber operations have we seen in the conflict? Has Russia evolved its tactics since 2016? Which disinformation narratives are dominant? Does Russia have a coherent information strategy or are the operations reactive? How have different countries and platforms dealt with the problem?
