"Russia has no right to lose "information war""
Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu said that Russia is participating in a big "information war" on different fronts and the country must win in it.
"The time has come that today it’s not just the presentation of information in one form or another, it’s a big, dare I say it, war", he said, noting that the information war is going on on all fronts and "we have no right" to lose this war.
Further, the head of the Russian defense department pointed out that such a "war" should not be approached as servicing the activities of the Ministry of Defense. "That time has passed, long gone, and today it is completely different, it is all much more serious", he summed up, speaking on the Zvezda TV channel.
Earlier Shoigu had reported that there were "propaganda strategy centers" in the capitals of Poland, Latvia and Estonia, where "information weapons" were being created for distribution in Russia.
