This issue looks at the perception of the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine in the Global South. Jochen Kleinschmidt analyses possible reasons for the rather Russia-friendly attitude of political elites in Latin America. Artem Miniailo provides an overview of Russian disinformation campaigns in Africa and Rashid Gabdulhakov compares Russian disinformation in Kyrgyzstan and Germany. Finally, Chelsea Nguyen comments on the challenges for Ukrainian attempts to build support for its position in the Global South, on the examples of Indonesia and Vietnam. The issue also presents selected results of a global public opinion survey on perceptions of Russia.
