NGOs, media and international experts took part in a roundtable discussion on countering disinformation

Representatives of government entities, civil society organizations, media, and international experts took part in a roundtable discussion on countering disinformation.

Participants discussed methods used in Ukraine and abroad, as well as the legal framework and specifics of interaction between civil society and government institutions to counter fakes and disinformation in the context of cybersecurity.

During the discussion, Andriy Shapovalov, acting head of the Center for Countering Disinformation, a working body of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, emphasized that people who deliberately spread disinformation are information terrorists. He noted that to protect the information space, it is necessary to amend the legislation.

“Information terrorists should know that they will have to answer to the law as war criminals,” he emphasized.

In his speech, the acting head of the Center also noted that Ukraine is confidently winning the information war.

The roundtable was organized by: The National Academy of the Security Service of Ukraine, the U.S. Foundation for Civilian Research and Development (CRDF Global Ukraine) and the International Academy of Information.
