NGOs/Civil Society

Russia is using targeted disinformation in the war against Ukraine. In the podcast, we discuss the role of news agencies, social media and civil society in the public perception of the war and the situation in Crimea.

In 2013/2014, millions of people in Ukraine demonstrated for democratisation, the rule of law and the country's EU perspective. Events that went down in history as Euromaidan or the Revolution of Dignity and continue to shape the country and society to this day.

Holding Russia accountable for war crimes is not a mere political gesture, it is a prerequisite for peace in Ukraine. Can there be an international strategy that engages global legal institutions? How can German politics contribute?

The Ukrainian government repeatedly emphasises that Ukraine's victory includes regaining the Crimean Peninsula. Along with military questions, local civil society and the legal processing of human rights violations play a role in this.
