To counter it, democracies must act as a network: EU, Ukraine, Canada, the UK, Australia, Japan. Together they can show they are not passive and create a narrative of strength, unity, and resilience. "A narrative is a strategy in story form" @MarkLaity #security #europe
Ukraine and its allies should project power across multiple fronts: economic pressure, hybrid operations, defense production, and information campaigns. Every action reinforces the story of capability and resolve #ukraine #narrativepower #defense
Europe’s money + Ukraine’s technology & experience = a fast, effective defense ecosystem. Democracies don’t need to rely on a single leader; their collective narrative can outmatch Putin’s story #informationwar #democracy #europe #ukraine
Putin’s most powerful weapon is his story, but democracies can write a stronger one #ukraine #russia #informationwar #democracy #security #europe
