❗The Center for Countering Disinformation reminds of the need to observe information hygiene❗
⚔ The war continues, in particular, in the information space. The aggressor spreads dozens of fakes and manipulative statements every day in order to destabilize the situation in Ukraine.
📱 Only during the last week of April, according to official data, 70 narratives aimed at discrediting the military-political leadership of Ukraine, the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the President of Ukraine were spread. Almost half of them are manipulations, and more than 20% are outright disinformation. 🚫
💁 In this regard, we remind you of the rules for observing information hygiene:
✅ trust only verified information from official sources;
❌ do not spread news from unknown sites and news aggregators where you cannot track the source;
⚠ do not follow suspicious links;
🚫 do not trust news or statements that are provocative and/or clickbait in nature.
🙏 Take care of yourself! Believe in the Armed Forces of Ukraine
