Russia's Info War
This week on Foreign Correspondent Eric Campbell, already on Russia's banned list of journalists, travels to Latvia to meet the others who have taken great risks to fight the propaganda war.
On the eve of the first anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the propaganda war being waged by President Putin has become more extreme. Russian citizens are being repeatedly told that Ukraine is being run by LGBT Nazis and President Vlodomyr Zelensky is a drug addict and a sexual pervert.
Independent Russian journalists forced to flee the country have found sanctuary in neighbouring Latvia where they are now broadcasting factual news about the war into their former homeland via YouTube. On Foreign Correspondent, reporter Eric Campbell, also on Russia's banned list, travels to Latvia to meet the journalists who have taken great risks to fight the propaganda war.
In the capital Riga, Eric interviews Latvian President Egils Levits, one of Ukraine's most ardent supporters. His government is allowing NATO troops to train in his country amidst fears Latvia too could suffer the same fate as Ukraine.
