ANALYSIS OF THE ASSESSMENT QUESTIONNAIRES OF THE «INTERNATIONAL WEEKLY», prepared by the Foreign Policy Research Institute in 2019 (The Resistance to Russian hybrid war)

In the analysis of the Resistance to Russian hybrid war, main focus was on topics:

  • "Steinmeier Formula" as a source of civil confrontation in Ukraine;
  • Russia’s demand for compensations for Crimea is only a propaganda;
  • Putin's decree on simplifying the issuance of Russian passports to Ukrainians enshrines a real military occupation of the territories of Donbas by Russian troops and challenges Volodymyr Zelensky;
  • Capture of the ukrainian media space by the Kremlin’s "5th column" is a threat to the national security of Ukraine;
  • Russia’s global information war on discrediting Ukraine finds supporters in European capitals.

Analysis of the Assessment Questionnaires leaded to the following conclusions:

1. In general, most readers of "International Weekly" are well aware with the topic "Resistance to Russian hybrid war". 10 % of respondents rated their knowledge "not very good".  None of the respondents chose "know nothing", "I am not interested in this topic".
