Silence is weapon: Ukraine's General Staff urges media, officials to follow information security rules

According to Ukrinform, the video was published on the General Staff’s official Telegram channel.

“In wartime, nothing is insignificant — everything matters. A single report made without approval can become a source of coordinates for the enemy. A careless comment may become an object of enemy intelligence. An unnecessary post may cause a strike and casualties. Everyone working with sensitive information must act responsibly and follow information security rules,” the statement reads.

The video serves as a reminder that “silence is also a weapon,” emphasized the General Staff.

The appeal targets all journalists, military personnel, public servants, and civic leaders, urging them to be mindful of the potentially deadly consequences of information leaks.
