Information warfare is an integral part of modern domestic and foreign policy conflicts, and its role will only increase. To effectively counter information influence, an integrated approach is needed, including the development of media literacy, cooperation between the state, civil society and media organizations, as well as the creation of mechanisms for checking and exposing fake news.
The round table was an important step in understanding the complex dynamics of information conflicts and finding effective strategies to counter them. The participants confirmed the need for further research and exchange of experience to ensure information security and stability of society.
