Russia and Information Warfare: Aims, Tools and Implications for the West
Practical information
This event is dedicated to the Russia/NIS Centre Corporate supports. By personal invitation only.
A round table with Keir Giles, Director, Conflict Studies Research Centre; Associate Fellow, Russia and Eurasia Programme at Chatham House.
Based on lessons learned from operations in Ukraine, Syria, and now perhaps the United States, Russia’s information capabilities are now described in far more ambitious and alarming terms. These capabilities are being tested on the ground: Russia is undertaking measures in cyber and cognitive domains in order to achieve information dominance over targets so as to facilitate desired strategic outcomes. The West should be aware of the implications.
