The modern level of economic, political, and informational globalisation offers vast opportunities for development and progress. It also creates favourable conditions for influencing the emotions, beliefs, and behaviours of people worldwide due to the virtually unrestricted spread of information. Authoritarian regimes such as Russia weaponise informational influence tools in the same way they exploit economic dependencies, energy levers, and other resources to harm democracies. Ukraine, the EU, and the entire democratic world are forced to seek systematic solutions to effectively counter malicious foreign information manipulation and interference, or FIMI, in national and global information spaces.
