How Democracy Can Win: The Right Way to Counter Autocracy
The most important step the United States can take to counter foreign influence campaigns and disinformation is to help our partners promote media and digital literacy, communicate credibly with their publics, and engage in “pre-bunking”—that is, seeking to inoculate their societies against disinformation before it can spread. In Indonesia, for example, USAID has worked with local partners to develop sophisticated online courses and games that help new social media users identify disinformation and reduce the likelihood that they will share misleading posts and articles.
The United States has also helped Ukraine in its fight against the Kremlin’s propaganda and disinformation. For decades, USAID has worked to enhance the media environment in the country, encouraging reforms that allow greater access to public information and supporting the emergence of strong local media organizations, including the public broadcaster Suspilne. After Russia’s initial invasion of Ukraine in 2014, our work expanded to help the country’s local journalists produce Russian-language programming that could reach into Kremlin-occupied territories, such as Dialogues With Donbas, a YouTube channel that featured honest conversations with Ukrainians about life behind Russian lines. We also helped support the production of the online comedy show Newspalm, which regularly racks up tens of thousands of views as it skewers Putin’s lies. And even before Moscow’s full-scale invasion began in February 2022, we worked with the government of Ukraine to stand up the Center for Strategic Communications, which uses memes [memetic warfare], well-produced digital videos, and social media and Telegram posts to poke holes in Kremlin propaganda.
I still need to look into Newspalm. I’ll update if I find anything. As I don’t know Ukrainian, or Russian, I’m using Google translate for the following information. Note, this is all speculation!

Oct 4, 2022 – Russian pranksters Vladimir Kuznetsov and Alexey Stolyarov (Vovan and Lexus) communicate with President of Moldova Sandu as Prime Minister of Ukraine.
Full prank with the President of Moldova Maia Sandu from Vovan and Lexus or “a conversation that did not exist” (as the Sandu administration claims).
The President of Moldova was very talkative, thinking that “Prime Minister of Ukraine Shmygal” wanted to give her compromise on opposition politicians.
She told how Moldova hangs on the verge of a total gas and electricity outage. Prices have already soared 10 times, and the president does not know how to stop the growth. Meanwhile, Sandu trades the territory of her own country, offering it to Ukraine.
Sandu also expressed her disappointment about the country’s energy dependence on Gazprom and Pridnestrovie. At the end, the president revealed the future of the Moldovan army and a possible military operation to deoccupy Pridnestrovie. And also about U.S. assistance.

If the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) Is Subverting Democracy—Why Aren’t Some of the Left Media Calling It Out?
NED’s history should lead to it being renamed the “National Endowment for Attacking Democracy,” as journalist Stephen Kinzer suggests.
