To dig into some of these questions, Freddie Sayers sat down with Dr. Andreas Umland, an analyst for the Stockholm Centre for Eastern European studies and expert in contemporary Russian and Ukrainian politics.

Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst This new European conflict brings a new front, the front of fake news and cyber threats. Both sides are very active digitally, trying to sell their narratives. We don't enter into who is right or wrong, as it is clear. We are interested to learn how to discern fake from truth, to avoid being drawn into this (or other future) conflicts, and understand the consequences of these challenges. Watch this and let us know what you think.
