title: The Nightingale Versus the Bear: What Persuasion Research Reveals About Ukraine's and Russia's Messaging on the War
abstract: Have Ukraine's information campaigns been more persuasive than Russia's since the start of the 2022 conflict? Who is winning the information war? The answers are complex. RAND researchers examined Russia's and Ukraine's influence campaigns — both those targeting each state's own people and military and those targeting the adversary — through the lens of persuasion research to understand whether these campaigns have been persuasive and why or why not.
