Combined with climate shocks, conflict in places like Ethiopia, and … supply chain shortages caused by COVID-19, the war in Ukraine is just exacerbating the impacts on food and economic security in the region.
Those [unverified videos of the war in Ukraine] can be used to enlighten folks on what's really happening on the ground. They can also be taken out of context and used to mislead or to disinform. We see all of that happening in this conflict.
[On Tiktok as part of China's information campaign] I think China has used information manipulation to shape views on issues that are of geopolitical relevance to it. For some time now, those efforts are becoming more assertive and I think they'll only continue to grow"
[NATO's response to Putin in Ukraine has been] the most considered, forceful and effective Western response to any crisis that I’ve seen.
