The Ministry of Information Policy noted that Russian propagandists spend significant resources to purposefully create fake news, stories, web resources, and propaganda accounts on social media and saturate the Internet with them. Among the challenges are Telegram channels, which are usually anonymous and not responsible for their publications. The agency said that recently, Russians have been generating disinformation and massive propaganda using artificial intelligence technologies.
Currently, the prompt delivery of socially important information to people, especially in the de-occupied territories, as well as informing the external audience about the actions of the aggressor country directly affects the level of support for Ukraine, including with weapons. Today, we must take into account all threats to national information security and constantly look for ways to overcome them.
The participants of the meeting discussed the state of countering disinformation and information operations, primarily by the aggressor state. They also raised the issue of information reintegration of Ukrainian citizens living in the temporarily occupied territories.
The participants also discussed ways to build an effective strategic communications system.
The agency reminded that the Information Security Strategy is the main document in the field of information space protection in Ukraine. And the implementation of the action plan for the implementation of the Strategy until 2025 is an absolute priority for the ICIP.
