Press Conference USA

JOHN LENCZOWSKI, THE INSTITUTE OF WORLD POLITICS In the run-up to elections in Ukraine, host Carol Castiel and VOA senior news analyst Andre DeNesnera talk with John Lenczowski, Founder and President of the Institute of World Politics, formerly advisor on European and Soviet Affairs during the Reagan administration, about the ramifications of Russia’s information war in Eastern Ukraine. Moscow’s tight control and monopoly over mainstream media allows it to foment instability through the dissemination of propaganda and disinformation. Lenczowski asserts that Putin’s aggression in Ukraine is connected to his need to preserve internal security in Russia.
