Russia has been intimidating the population of the peninsula for years, identifying the Alliance with fascism and saying that it wants to trample Ukraine. And already in 2014, the Russian authorities began to openly call NATO an enemy and accuse it of threats and unfriendly actions. Since that moment, the Russian Federation has been actively spreading Putin's propaganda that NATO is reaching Russian borders, the continued existence and expansion of NATO poses a threat to Russia, NATO wants to draw Ukraine into its ranks, etc.
The speakers of the event will talk about the global problem of fakes, the trends in the spread of fake information about NATO in the temporarily occupied Crimea, and the importance of tracking and debunking this information.
The broadcast of the event will also be available via the CTRC Facebook page.
