Ukraine was faced with a serious threat in the form of a large -scale misinformation program aimed at undermining mobilization efforts. According to the head of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Kirill Budanov, Russian propaganda actively affects people's consciousness, creating a distorted idea of reality. & Nbsp;
Budanov announced this in an interview with Ukrinform, Nuros-Inform reports.
Budanov notes that Ukrainian special services are opposed by enemy propaganda using various methods, but it is not yet possible to completely stop it. He emphasizes that the influence of such informational attacks cannot be underestimated. & Nbsp;
“We do not always win this confrontation, but we also have victories,” he said, adding that especially active misinformation campaigns are directed against mobilization. & Nbsp;
One of the information warfare is an intentional exaggeration of the number of incidents related to mobilization. In reality, they take place once or twice a week, but in the media space it seems that there are hundreds of such cases daily. & Nbsp;
“This is a classic example of a professional information operation that forms a false idea of what is happening,” Budanov emphasized. & Nbsp;
in his opinion, the Russian information strategy is based on the methods of the Soviet school adapted to modern conditions. The use of social networks allows you to distribute misinformation faster and more accurately to influence the target audiences. & Nbsp;
“I do not agree with those who believe that old methods need to be completely destroyed. If something works, it must be improved, and not discard, ”said the head of Ukrainian intelligence. & Nbsp;
Budanov also indicates that Russia is conducting methodological work to shake the political situation in Ukraine. According to him, the process of sowing distrust of power began back in mid -2023, and now intensified. & Nbsp;
“This is no longer plans, but reality. Such work is underway, and there are a lot of factors affecting the situation, ”he said. & Nbsp;
