◤Why focus on the War in Ukraine? 聚焦烏俄戰爭◢
Although the Russo-Ukrainian War is in Europe, we really feel the same way. The aggressor country did not only bombard the civilian shelters with fierce and relentless attack, but also spread malicious disinformation to justify the invasion and mislead the public.

"3 Lessons from the War in Ukraine" is the main topic in the 2022 Asia Fact-Checking Forum. 3 speakers will be on-line with us to share how they fight against disinformation during the war in Ukraine.
In the crucial moment, let us connect with the fact-checking organizations from Ukraine and Spain and the researcher/reporter from US to get amazing inspiration. They will bright their insights and share their thoughts to us. It is 3 must-learn lessons to Taiwan and Asia.
烏俄戰爭,戰場雖在歐洲,在台灣、亞洲的你我都有強烈的既視感。侵略國發動的不只是以猛烈無情的砲火轟擊平民避難之地,更發動惡意的錯假訊息,合理化侵略理由和引導國際輿論風向。
