Alongside fighting in Ukraine, an 'information war' is playing out. While Western media on the ground are describing a brutal war, Russian media offers a very different narrative. Journalists are not even allowed to describe the situation in Ukraine as a 'war'. So how will the latest crackdown on independent Russian media affect what people in the country see? And what does that mean for the future of this conflict?
Guests: Ivan Kolpakov, editor-in-chief at Meduza; Olga Malchevska, journalist at the BBC Ukrainian service; Professor Samuel Greene, director of the Russia Institute at King’s College, London; Luke Harding, senior international correspondent at The Guardian; Roland Oliphant, senior foreign correspondent at The Telegraph; Lindsey Hilsum, international editor at Channel 4 News.
