Abstract

Through a post-colonial approach to crisis communication within transboundary contexts over the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the paper investigates the digital information warfare in East Eurasia aggregated by Google News in the first two weeks of the war. Analysed countries are Georgia, Poland, Serbia, and Turkey. The study tries to unveil major sources, frames and narratives among subaltern and ‘other’ locations while inhabiting the platform to discover affordances indications. Platforms and news aggregators emerged as relevant in current information warfare, with a hybrid composition of old and new tactics, actors and tools.
