The Polish embassy in Lisbon warned today about the use by Portuguese media of information that can be used in disinformation campaigns carried out by Russia, which invaded Ukraine 23 days ago.
In a statement, the Polish embassy supported that “after 23 days of Russian aggression against Ukraine, it is worth remembering that it is not necessary in the field of disinformation” and that the Kremlin also has a “wide” range of disinformation machines at its disposal. ”.
The diplomatic representation of Poland highlighted the example that it is necessary to “verify information from information sources, as well as the exclusive use of selected ones”, such as through materials, photographs and videos.
This, he adds, to avoid the “misuse” by Moscow of news “published/issued by Portuguese information agencies, which can be used as a basis for ‘fake news’ or disinformation campaigns”.
In the note, the Polish embassy in Lisbon provided an overview of the humanitarian crisis at the country’s borders.
