It's now four years since the beginning of Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine.
So how is Ukraine defending itself against disinformation and interference?
The European Audiovisual Observatory, part of the Council of Europe in Strasbourg, has published a new legal report, Platform regulation, disinformation and FIMI in Ukraine, offering a comprehensive analysis of Ukraine's evolving media landscape under the extraordinary pressures of war and digital transformation.
The report is an in-depth analysis of foreign information manipulation and interference (FIMI) in Ukraine and also marks the accession of Ukraine as a member state of the European Audiovisual Observatory in June 2025. The report is authored by Ukrainian experts Roman Horbyk, Tetiana Avdieieva, Dariia Opryshko, Oleksandr Monastyrskyi and Igor Rozkladaj.
At a time when information integrity, platform governance and media resilience are at the centre of policy debates across Europe, this report provides a timely, in-depth examination of how Ukraine's media system has adapted to sustained foreign interference with its media, particularly in the context of Russia's war of aggression.
