The overwhelming support for Ukraine yesterday and today from courageous and principled leaders—both foreign and domestic—has been heartening. Ukraine’s fight is not just against an invader; it is a battle against dictatorship, tyranny, and a brutal war characterized by numerous crimes against civilians. Moreover, Ukraine faces a regime that has orchestrated a widespread campaign of misinformation and disinformation—a calculated cognitive attack—targeting both its own people and much of the West.
As Ukrainians fight to reclaim their occupied lands, our responsibility, while less personally perilous, is equally critical: we must free our own understanding from the grip of Russian disinformation. We cannot allow ourselves to become so detached from reality, so morally unmoored, that we inadvertently enable the authoritarian conquest and subjugation of a free and democratic ally.
Project Liberal remains steadfast in its commitment to defending liberal values wherever they are under threat. We will continue to organize and empower those who share our vision of a free and democratic world.
