The webinar casted a spotlight on the enduring Russian-Ukrainian war, which has persisted for two consecutive years. Within this conflict, the information front holds a crucial position, rivalling the importance of the physical battleground. Ukraine has devoted significant efforts to safeguarding its information security, recognising the grave danger posed by the proliferation of misinformation, propaganda, and cyberattacks. These tools can profoundly influence public consciousness and even incite criminal activities. Finding a delicate balance between combating these crimes and upholding fundamental human rights presents a formidable challenge.
