The Biden Effect with Special Guest Ruslan Deynychenko

Russia's new offensive in Ukraine failed to materialize on the first anniversary of the war's start.

Some people credit Joe Biden's visit to Ukraine earlier in the week for Russia's decision not to ramp up their attacks on Ukrainian forces and civilians. In this episode, I spoke with Ruslan Deynychenko, executive director of StopFake.org, about Biden's recent visit to Kyiv. He shared his experience living in Kyiv during a war and how the conflict has had a negative impact on children and families. We also discussed the potential for increased Chinese support for Russian forces and the devastating effects that would have on the region. Deynychenko talked about the work of Stop Fake and how it has successfully tackled misinformation and disinformation in Ukraine.

Lastly, we discussed the ongoing disinformation offensive worldwide and how it has been used to divide people.
