On 12 April 2026, Alina Rohach<\/strong>, Project Manager of the Spain and Latin America Cooperation Program, and Bohdana Batsko<\/strong>, Project Assistant of the same program, spoke for a column by Maricarmen Guti\u00e9rrez Romero<\/strong> published in Eme Equis <\/strong>(an independent Mexican outlet focused on narrative and investigative journalism).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The piece opens with a clear message from Kyiv: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“From Kyiv, amidst intermittent shelling and a daily routine punctuated by air raid alerts, two members of the Transatlantic Dialogue Centre are working to explain what is happening in their country to audiences far away, such as in Latin America, where the war may seem distant, yet it is not”.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The interview frames information work as a parallel front to the military one. As the war drags on and international attention inevitably fades, sustained explanation and outreach \u2014 particularly to audiences far from Europe \u2014 is presented as essential to keeping Ukraine visible<\/strong>, understandable, and not “forgotten”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A central thesis of the conversation is how the war should be understood: not as a “great powers clash”<\/strong>, but as the invasion of a sovereign state by a country with imperial ambitions \u2014 a reality that should not be relativized or treated as an ambiguous conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The column also highlights disinformation as a global instrument of Russian policy<\/strong>. It notes how narratives circulate across regions \u2014 from Europe to Latin America, Africa, and Asia \u2014 including recurring claims about a “preventive war” <\/strong>allegedly driven by NATO expansion, or Ukraine framed as a “threat”. The speakers stress that such messaging is designed to normalize or justify aggression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the interview explains why the war matters to Latin America beyond economic spillovers<\/strong>. The broader stake, it argues, is systemic: if violations of sovereignty and the prohibition on the use of force go unpunished, international rules erode \u2014 creating precedents that can destabilize the global system <\/strong>far beyond Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
