One year ago the world held its breaths as the Russian armed forces invaded Ukraine. In this particular special episode, we welcome Prof. Andrew Hoskins, whose expertise concerns the impact of digitisation of contemporary warfare on society, and Kanykei Tursunbaeva, a journalist from Ukraine and research associate at the European Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, who reports directly from Odesa, where she has been covering the conflict first-hand.In the episode, we discussed how social media transform our perceptions of warfare, from forming memories and national identities to how people navigate what is forgettable or not. Kanykei brings her insight into how Telegram played a crucial role in the daily routine of the war - amidst air raids and power cuts.This episode is hosted by Vitor Tomaz, a candidate for the Master of Public Policy at the Blavatnik School of Government at the University of Oxford.
