I recently read a news story about Russia spreading false information about the actions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the front. I wonder if such actions can be considered a war crime and what legal consequences might await those who spread them?
The head of the State Security Service, Kirill Budanov, warned about a wave of infiltration and incitement during the Russian-Belarusian exercises "West-2025". Is the spread of rumors and disinformation during martial law considered an administrative offense and what sanctions are provided for it?
I want to know whether there are grounds to consider information about the enemy occupation of the villages of Zaporizhzhia and Novogeorgiivka as true, if the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine refutes it? Can such information be considered military propaganda or disinformation?
If artificial intelligence, created to combat disinformation, itself begins to spread false information, will it be possible to hold the developers legally liable under Ukrainian law?
