However, as we can see, Ukrainian experts proved the opposite.
Almost immediately after these statements, a “video greeting” from the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine appeared on the air of the aforementioned TV channels.
Russian cybersecurity experts once again tried to regain control of the situation, but their actions led to the repeated suspension of broadcasting by several Russian TV channels. Among them: “Eurasia 360, Eurasia First Channel, Pervouralsk TV, Luhansk 24, First Republican, Spb, Oplot, TV-3, and First Russian.

It also demonstrates the importance of the information front in modern warfare and Ukraine’s effectiveness in countering Russian propaganda.
