Conversation between Kyrgyz and Indonesian journalist who both travelled to Ukraine and reported on the current Russian war of aggression for their home audiences. Why did they choose to do it? How do they report on events happening far away? Why is it important to show Russian imperialism, how does Russia spread its disinformation about the war, what role does China play in both countries. They also underline how important it is to overcome the information isolation and establish direct contacts.

Participants:
