- Description: A source guide assembled during the Ukraine-Russia crisis to help cut through disinformation about NATO, with official background material, alliance and national mission accounts, and a selection of news outlets.

NATO, as one would expect, has been persistently and relentlessly targeted by the Russian disinformation machine. That's not really surprising. However, this activity has swelled in recent years (for other targets as well) and it can be difficult to cut through the disinformation and organic noise that exists across millions of online voices. That's why I threw together this basic primer with links directly back to NATO sources and reputable media.

These lists are by no means comprehensive but they will get you primary and reliable source material that will help you evaluate the rest of the news and opinions that you're consuming.
