In his latest book, The Propaganda Manual of the Ukraine War: Information Warfare by Russia, Ukraine, and Western Nations—Lessons Learned for Future Conflicts (AFPC Press, 2026), AFPC Senior Fellow for Public Diplomacy Thomas Kent takes readers inside a new battlefield where wars are increasingly won or lost not with tanks and missiles alone, but through propaganda, disinformation, psychological warfare, and cyber operations.
Join us on September 10, 2026, for a discussion with Kent about his examination of the information operations employed by Russia, Ukraine, and Western countries throughout Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Kent assesses the strengths and shortcomings of each side, from Russia’s sweeping propaganda apparatus and Ukraine’s highly targeted campaigns to Western efforts to counter Moscow’s influence and build international support for Kyiv. He also explores how these campaigns have shaped public opinion, political decision-making, and perceptions of the war around the world, examines Western media coverage of the conflict, and draws broader lessons for propaganda, strategic communications, and information warfare in future conflicts.
WHEN: September 10, 2026, 3-5 PM
WHERE: American Foreign Policy Council (509 C Street, NE, Washington, DC 20002)
