This was stated by Andrii Yusov, a representative of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, during a press conference at the Interfax Ukraine agency dedicated to the topic of information warfare.
Andriy Yusov emphasized that Russia spends huge resources on creating content, fakes and disinformation, but even more on their distribution and promotion. Moscow uses sensitive topics for Ukrainian society, trying to demotivate citizens and unbalance the state in order to prevent further resistance in the conditions of war. However, according to the HUR representative, these efforts do not bring the desired results.
“Ukrainian society maintains a high, stable immunity to Russian propaganda and Russian narratives, but every day there are new and new attacks,” he noted.
Andriy Yusov also added that Russia continues to carry out active information measures against Ukraine and its partners, trying to weaken and split the pro-Ukrainian coalition. One of the main goals of Moscow is to discredit Ukraine in the international arena, in particular by exaggerating and hyperbolizing all the negative events that happen in the country, in order to influence public opinion in Ukraine and among international partners.
“These threats will remain particularly acute in the coming months,” summed up the representative of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
As ArmiyaInform reported, Andrii Yusov talked about the change in enemy tactics and challenges for Ukrainian intelligence.
