One man's fight against Kremlin disinformation - the story of Marijn Markus

History in the Making: The War in Ukraine

For those of you who support Ukraine on social media – and LinkedIn specifically – many of you may have wondered: Who is Marijn Markus?
 
Marijn is one of the most consistent and outspoken supporters of Ukraine for years now – but he’s not Ukrainian, isn’t from the military, doesn’t work directly for a government, and has no formal academic background in Eastern Europe or international relations…

So how has he become one of the most ardent and listened to voices about the war on social media?

Listen in to find out!

And hear more about Marijn’s devotion to fighting Kremlin disinformation, where he thinks the war is going, and what has to happen for Ukraine to win this war.

I also want to personally thank Marijn for his tireless work in supporting Ukraine and helping keep up awareness in the Western world. That’s the goal of my podcast and I’m grateful for Marijn’s work towards this mission as well.
