340. Armenak Ohanesian - Through Hybrid Informational Warfare Russia Makes A Mockery of International Law

2024 and the 2nd anniversary of Russia’s war brings a feeling of
uncertainty for Ukrainians and their supporters. This period has seen a
significant mood shift, influenced by factors beyond the tactical
outcomes of Ukraine's summer counteroffensive. Russia has proved adept
at deforming the narrative around Ukraine’s resistance to its
aggression, and the amplification of so-called war fatigue. But the
ultimate objective for Russia — is to influence fundamental beliefs and
alliances, disrupt democratic values, the rule of law and institutions
that maintain the democratic order. My guest today argues that through
its hybrid informational warfare measures, it’s potentially able to
render international justice meaningless and facilitate the collapse of
the current architecture of international law.
