A group of French researchers, journalists and specialists in developing the capacities of individuals to use the media and communication has nnounced the launch of the “De Facto” platform to fight disinformation, the French contribution to a project that on a European scale.

The initiative is the result of efforts by Agence France-Presse, the Sciences Po Institute in Paris (Medialab), the Center for Education and Media Linkage (Clemi) and the collaborative Xwiki SAS platform in response to a call for projects from the European Commission.

A looming large-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine is unlikely. However, this does not preclude alternative, nonconventional military measures by Russia. These could entail various aspects of hybrid warfare, such as covert activity, political manipulation, cyberattacks, propaganda, and misinformation including the signaling of a potential invasion that we are seeing now. There is also the possibility of Russian military buildups elsewhere, such as weapons deployments to Kaliningrad or in countries that are friendlier to Moscow, such as Belarus.

President Vladimir Putin is keeping the West guessing: Will he opt for a full-scale invasion or a more limited operation or simply keep Russian forces in place to maintain pressure on Kyiv and the West? Russia has a variety of options if Putin decides to launch an attack, depending on what Moscow wants to achieve, the price it is willing to pay and how the West responds.

Any offensive would most likely feature bombing raids, missile strikes and cyberattacks that could devastate Ukraine's military infrastructure, disrupt communications and pin down ground troops.
