Ukraine through a Baltic lens: Regional networks of meanings

Abstract

What “storylines” appear in the Baltic news media about Ukraine in terms of Ukraine’s perceived capability, opportunity, and affinity? Is there a regional – Baltic – “storyline” emerging, or are these “storylines” country-specific? Do the meanings conveyed by the media “storylines” resonate with the opinions of young opinion-influencers? What do resonances and clashes mean for the formulation and projection of the strategic narrative in these countries and the region and for these countries’ relations with Ukraine?
