Word for word: "In wartime, there are no trivial matters – everything is significant. A single report created without coordination can become a source of coordinates for the enemy. An unchecked comment can be an object of intelligence. An unnecessary 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 acquired data for a strike that resulted in the destruction of production facilities and numerous casualties.
"Everyone handling sensitive information must act responsibly and comply with information security regulations. This video is a reminder for every journalist, military personnel, activist, or official: silence is also a weapon. The enemy is listening! Stay vigilant!", emphasized the General Staff.
