Barbora Maronkova evaluates NATO’s strategy and implementation plans for countering hybrid warfare. This strategy comprises four main pillars: defence and deterrence with high readiness forces in place, cyber defence, enhancing resilience through national civil preparedness and the protection of critical infrastructure, as well as strategic communications to fight disinformation and propaganda. Maronkova underlines the importance of proactive communication between NATO members in order to counter the “systemic use of disinformation, propaganda and fake news”. This is particularly with regard to Russia, which has deployed a number of propaganda attacks targeting its immediate neighbours and NATO. Maronkova explains how these attacks have led NATO to develop new initiatives to counter Russian disinformation, including countering propaganda with facts and information to debunk recurrent falsehoods. She concludes by emphasizing the importance of proactive and transparent communication between NATO members in order to deter and defend against any threat which may arise. |
