Jane Lytvynenko: Russian government ‘laid the groundwork’ for free press shutdown ‘for years’
Disinformation Reporter Jane Lytvynenko, a senior research fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School, joins Andrea Mitchell to discuss the Russian disinformation campaigns shielding their public from the truth about the war in Ukraine. “The propaganda situation in Russia is incredibly difficult.
