Ignoring antagonistic information threats: Costs and evidence from Ukraine

As democracies worldwide face mounting disinformation, influence operations, and hybrid threats, Ukraine’s experience offers an evidence base for understanding the consequences of underestimating - or ignoring - antagonistic information aggression. This high-level expert event brings together Ukrainian and international specialists to unpack the economic, political, and societal costs of these threats, and to discuss what Europe must learn from Ukraine’s decade on the front lines.

About the event

The Stockholm Institute of Transition Economics (SITE), Center for Statecraft and Strategic Communication (CSSC) together with the Swedish Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce in Scandinavia (SUCC), will host a high-level expert event titled “Ignoring Antagonistic Information Threats: Costs and Evidence from Ukraine.”

As democracies worldwide grapple with mounting disinformation, influence operations, and hybrid threats, Ukraine’s experience offers an evidence base for understanding what happens when such threats are underestimated or ignored. This event will bring together leading Ukrainian and international experts to examine the economic, political, and societal consequences of antagonistic information aggression, and to discuss what Europe must learn from Ukraine’s decade on the front lines.

The program features keynote addresses and a panel discussion focused on evidence from Ukraine, implications for Europe, and emerging policy priorities for resilience-building and strategic communication.

The event will open with remarks from Torbjörn Becker, Director of SITE, and Rikard Westerberg, Director of CSSC at SSE.
