White book

The White Book: Navigating the Russian Propaganda Minefield is an analytical guide that systematizes Ukraine’s experience in countering Russian disinformation — one of the key tools of hybrid warfare against Ukraine.

The book explains how the Russian propaganda machine operates: how its narratives are created, which channels are used to disseminate them, and which actors amplify their influence. It also traces the evolution of Russian disinformation — from political manipulation to its use as a weapon during the full-scale war.

The guide explores the history of Russian disinformation, the role of political technologists in promoting Kremlin narratives, the channels and agents of influence behind disinformation campaigns, and how Russian propaganda operates in Europe. It also highlights Ukraine’s approaches to countering information aggression and the key challenges in combating disinformation.

The publication serves as a practical resource for policymakers, journalists, analysts, and researchers seeking to better understand the mechanisms of disinformation and strengthen information resilience.
