Ukraine War Archive (UWA)

The Ukraine War Archive (UWA) is a non-profit collaborative digital preservation platform that creates a unified register of materials related to the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine. With innovative technological and methodological approaches, it serves as a tool for Ukrainian and international organizations to preserve history and fairly represent events in legal, historical, and cultural discourse, establishing a foundation for truth and justice. Ukraine War Archive is not a public resource. Access to it can be obtained after a background check and authorisation. However, some of UWA’s projects are publicly accessible in whole or in part.

Experts

Disinformation Analyst Dietmar Pichler is building a Disinformation Resilience Network (DRN), a non-profit and non-partisan organization dedicated to analyzing the impact of disinformation, propaganda, and extremist ideologies by foreign and domestic actors on the information space of democratic societies.

DRN provides a platform for experts from various fields such as political science, journalism, history, security, and diplomacy to exchange ideas, collaborate, and network. DRN works closely with national and international organizations, educators, analysts, and stakeholders relevant to these topics.

On 2024 November 29, under the title Foreign Interference, Subversion & Disinformation experts, diplomats, and representatives from politics and civil society gathered for an exchange of views.
