MINSK, 8 April (BelTA) - Information war with opponents should be based solely on truthful facts, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said as he appointed Vladimir Pertsov Deputy Head of the Belarus President Administration on 8 April, BelTA has learned.
“Information and psychological operations can be easily performed if needed. The truth, however, is the strongest weapon,” the Belarusian leader emphasized. “Any psychological operation is worthless if it is not based on the truth. We do not need to make up anything. Take, for instance, the current situation on the border. Why would we lie? Look at how many bodies are lying on the border today. The snow melted and revealed a horrible scene. I get reports every morning. Here is a ready-made psychological operation – you just need to film and show to people all those scoundrels who kill people, migrants and throw their bodies on our territory. This is just one example, and such examples are many.”
Aleksandr Lukashenko added that all these facts should be collected and shown to the public. “We need to prepare our people for what the future is holding for us, especially in the era of artificial intelligence. There will be many more untruths,” he said.
