Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha emphasized that Russia continues to escalate its information war.
Despite a slight reduction in military spending in the 2026 budget, funding for propaganda is set to increase by an unprecedented 54%.
“This clearly shows the priorities of the aggressor state: unable to win on the battlefield, they are placing their main bet on disinformation,” Andrii Sybiha stated.
"In today’s world, words are also weapons, especially in diplomacy. That is why strengthening information resilience remains one of Ukraine’s priorities for effectively defending its interests and countering Russian aggression in the information sphere," he added.
