The aggressor country Russia is throwing massive resources into propaganda, bot farms, deepfakes, and manipulation. At the same time, Ukraine has all the capabilities to successfully oppose the Russian Federation on the information front. This was stated by the head of the President's Office, Kyrylo Budanov, at the Cognitive Influence and Resilience Forum, as he wrote on Telegram on September 18.
Budanov pointed out that Ukraine's main advantage is a unique internal “immunity to lies and strong horizontal ties.”
In his view, the key task facing the country on the information front is to consolidate the efforts of the state, media, experts, and the IT sector, to transform this into a single systemic mechanism for creating our own tools of defense and countermeasures.
“We must not wait for threats, but act proactively through clear operations in the information space,” emphasized the head of the Office of the President.
He called the "most important currency" public trust and the ability to withstand blows despite any information "storms" when the state, the military, experts, and the media act in a cohesive and systematic way.
