    Peter Pomerantsev on How to Win an Information War

    In this episode of Ukraine Insights, we speak with Peter Pomerantsev about Russia’s information strategy in the war against Ukraine, the export of chaos as a geopolitical tool, and why the battle for truth today is no longer about facts alone, but about identity, emotion, and narrative. The conversation moves beyond theory into practice: what actually works against disinformation? Can democratic societies defend themselves without sacrificing openness? And what does resilience look like in a permanently contested information space? Produced by KI Insights, the analytical unit backed by the Kyiv Independent.
