Quote: "In times of war, there are no trivial matters – everything matters. Even one report made without approval could provide the enemy with coordinates. An unrestrained comment can be used for intelligence. Excessive publication can lead to strikes and losses".
The video narrates a story about a supposed report from a civilian enterprise producing drones. According to the plot, after this video was aired on television, the enemy received data for an attack that resulted in the destruction of the production facility and numerous casualties.
"Everyone who deals with sensitive information must act responsibly and adhere to information security rules. This video serves as a reminder for every journalist, military personnel, public figure, or official: silence is also a weapon. The enemy is listening! Stay vigilant!", emphasized the General Staff.
