Russia's war against Ukraine has been reported very differently in different national media. Journalists within the Russian Federation face punishment if they call into question the official designation that, like the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the war in Ukraine is a "special military operation." In Russia's former Soviet neighbors, audiences have exposure to a wider range of sources and narrative framings of the war, especially its impact on Ukrainian civilian life. In this panel, Humphrey Fellows from the region discuss the demands and pressures on journalists as they report on the war for publics for whom the outcome of the war will have profound, direct consequences.
