Lukashenko: Internet has become the main battlefield today

LIDA DISTRICT, 24 March (BelTA) – Today information wars in the Internet are becoming part of the so-called hybrid wars, Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko said as he met with the employees of Arvibelagro in Lida District on 24 March, BelTA has learned.

The head of state said that the Internet is a great achievement. However, it is sometimes used for various information attacks. “Today we are talking about information wars as one of the elements of hybrid wars,” the President noted.

In his words, the nature of modern wars is changing. They do not necessarily reach the hot stage. “Internet has become the main battlefield. Those who can counter this war will survive. It is very important. I should say that we have learned to do it several years ago,” the Belarusian leader said.
