Holding a meeting of Ukraine’s international partners in the format of an “Information Ramstein” will make it possible to coordinate the support of the civilized world to counter russian propaganda. Oleksandr Tkachenko, the Minister of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine, said this during an interview with Suspilne in the United News marathon.
“We are raising the issue of convening the so-called “Information Ramstein” before our colleagues, first of all with the G-7.” In this format, we could discuss urgent issues related to the coordination of the efforts of our allies in the field of countering russian disinformation, as well as consider the creation of a fund for direct support for media workers who suffered during the war,” the Minister noted.
After the start of a full-scale invasion, the implementation of most projects in the field of culture and information policy was put on hold – all funding goes to support the country’s defense capabilities.
Currently, Ukraine has limited resources to counter russian propaganda. It needs international help to fight on the information front. It is important right now to find resources to support Ukrainian media that have lost advertising budgets due to the war.
For reminding, the Ramstein format was initiated in April by the United States of America as the Ukraine Defense Contact Group. Now it covers more than 50 countries. The heads of the defense departments of allied and partner countries hold regular meetings to coordinate defense assistance to Ukraine.
