Key speakers at the panel discussion on the new communication strategies revealed to Ukraine Today how Ukraine should informationally respond to the Russian hybrid war.
For the past 3 years, Russia's been actively exploiting the means of a hybrid warfare to gain the lead not only at the front but also in the information field. Fake news, distorted facts, glorification of militant forces are just a few examples of how Russia uses information as a tool to confront Ukraine, Ukraine Today reports.
Since the start of the Russian aggression in 2014, the matter of information security and the need to elaborate a concept of information security became one of the government's priorities. However, the document is still at the stage of a draft version. Some of the main points have been revealed by a participant of the panel, advisor for Ukraine's minister of information policy, Dmytro Zolotukhin.
Another speaker of the meeting is advocating for both private sector and state bodies to work together in order to have a common position on essential topics for the country. This new approach must eliminate the previous failure in counteracting Russian disinformation.
