Please join the Atlantic Council’s Eurasia Center for a hybrid event, How Moscow manufactured the myth of Putin’s inevitable victory, on Friday, February 6, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. (ET) in person at the Atlantic Council Headquarters and online.

In the face of Russia’s brutal ongoing assault, Ukraine has demonstrated remarkable and steadfast resistance. The Kremlin has attempted to undermine perceptions of Ukraine’s resilience by flooding the information space with false narratives of Russia’s supposedly inevitable victory. However, Ukrainians have mostly held the front lines in place—fighting a battle not only in the trenches, but also online and in the media as Russia’s narratives aim to denigrate Ukraine’s resistance and right to exist.

Ruslan Stefanchuk, chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, will headline an expert panel to discuss Russia’s campaign to shape the narrative of its war on Ukraine.
