Together, we will promote a strategy to combat Russian propaganda in the EU, explain the context of the war. A special meeting devoted to the creation of this association of Eastern European countries is to be held in Warsaw in September," Head of the National Television and Radio Broadcasting Council of Ukraine Olha Herasymyuk told Ukrinform in an interview.
