Operators of the Southern Regional Ditectorate and the Regional Directorate of the Maritime Guard of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine took part in training to counteract disinformation campaigns.

The training "Counteracting disinformation campaigns" and the practical seminar "Creating visual content" took place in Odesa the other day. The events were organized by the regional representative office of the EU Advisory Mission (EUAM).

Officers and employees of the communication units of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, Odesa Operational Strategic Group, National Police of Ukraine, Security Service of Ukraine, National Investigation Bureau, State Customs Service of Ukraine, National Anti-Corruption Bureau and prosecutor's offices from Odesa, Mykolaiiv and Kherson regions were invited to the training.

During two days, operators gained practical experience in creating high-quality content to attract as many followers of their organizations' pages as possible. Taking into account today's requirements, where the speed of information delivery plays a big role, special attention was paid to the mobility of the work of operators, namely the processing of videos and photos in mobile applications.

Experts of the Center for Counteracting Disinformation of the NSDC were also involved in the training on counteracting disinformation, who revealed the methods and activities of the enemy in the information environment of Ukraine, the impact of this information on society and how to counteract and refute disinformation.

All events were interactive. Everyone had the opportunity to participate in the discussion of problematic issues and reach a general conclusion about the correctness of their solution.

It should be noted that this is not the first time that the EU Advisory Mission has invited border guards to participate in trainings. Classes are educational in nature and always have a practical novelty.
