Kremlin Propaganda and Russia's War against Ukraine: International Perspectives

Session Submission Type: Roundtable

Brief Description

Reactions to Russia's war against Ukraine have varied significantly around the world. Most Western countries have been united in opposing the war (though the advent of the Trump administration in the United States has greatly complicated matters), but many countries in Africa, South Asia, and Latin America have either supported the war or refrained from condemning it. China has been supportive of Russia, and India has helped Russia to evade sanctions. The panelists will discuss the impact of Kremlin propaganda on global reactions to Russia's invasion.
