Stanislav Zharin, the government commissioner for the security of the information space of Poland, warned that the 2023 election year could be even more difficult for Poland from the point of view of Russian propaganda.
"Given what we faced in 2022, we should expect a further increase in threats both in cyberspace, that is, those strictly related to the activities of cybercriminals, and those that we identify as information events, that is, Russian disinformation activities and propaganda activities of Russia and Belarus," Zharin said.
"Another piece of the puzzle that needs to be taken into account is the issue of the elections scheduled for 2023. The experience of our allies and political friends is such that it is the period of various election campaigns that activates the Russian side, which wants to use propaganda or disinformation to influence the results elections," he added.
