“The video contains the slogan” One Report – One Blow “. The video depicts a reporter on the background of a building where drones are produced, which openly tells it on the camera and says: “Here they make hundreds of drones on a monthly basis.” At the same time, the production employee also says that the company has doubled the capacity, and soon this party goes to the front. The frame further depicts the representatives of the Russian special services, who watched the report and sent the coordinates of production to their General Staff to prepare the impact. After that, a rocket is hit by a fire truck.

The General Staff of the Armed Forces indicates that the video “has an exclusively educational and educational purpose-to draw the attention of all citizens, including military personnel, on the issue of information security in the conditions of war.”
“We urge not to regard this material as a reproach or accusation against media representatives. Its purpose is not to criticize, but to remind everyone: any information can have the consequences that the enemy uses … In view of the specified and taking into account constructive comments and recommendations, the video will be revised in order to further convey the relevant reservations to both civilians and military personnel, ”
The media expert of the Institute of Media Olena Golub noted that in the widespread editorial of the video “appeal to journalists as the culprits of hostile blows, it is an objectively strange accusation.” “The journalists are much more responsible for their work and always pay attention to the risks of their publications, unlike people on social networks and various non -compliance bloggers,” the media expert said.
