The Resilience against Disinformation in Ukraine project aimed to counter Russian disinformation campaigns targeting Ukraine and its neighbors. Between August and December 2022, the project identified 19 disinformation meta-narratives across 69 Telegram channels and developed tools to build public resilience against manipulation.
The project delivered impactful research, trilingual reporting (UA, EN, RU), and a broad public awareness campaign. Educational videos and infographics reached over 1 million people in Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Romania, and the Baltics. Tailored training sessions equipped 121 Ukrainian and foreign stakeholders with practical skills in fact-checking and counter-narrative development. The findings continue to be applied in public forums, expert dialogues, and media literacy initiatives, helping to strengthen Ukraine’s information space in the face of ongoing hybrid threats.
