The position of Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will always be a target of information attacks
This was stated by Major General Mykhailo Drapatiy, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
According to him, disinformation campaigns against him began from the very first days of his tenure. He said their goal was to sow distrust within the country and between the military and society.
Some of these attacks are being carried out in a coordinated manner, involving bot networks
