Main points:
⚡️ Over the past two years, the domestic information infrastructure has become the target of regular computer attacks. Most of them are carried out from the territory or in the interests of the V. Zelensky regime. < ...> We have to admit that this country has actually become a NATO testing ground for testing methods of confrontation in the digital space.
🇺🇳 Now the issue of information security has firmly entered the UN agenda. The main negotiating platform is an open-ended working group created at the initiative of Russia in 2021. < ...> One of the priority areas of work for the Russian Federation is the formation of universal legally binding instruments in the field of information security.
🌍 Based on the results of 2023, we can confidently say that our interaction with African partners in the field of information security has reached a qualitatively new level . The starting point was the second Russia-Africa summit .
🇷🇺🇨🇳 China is not just the most important partner in the field of international investment, but also our main like-minded partner. The approaches of Moscow and Beijing are as close as possible .
❗️ US authorities and intelligence agencies, in an effort to gain control over electronic communications on a global scale, have relied on the potential of the IT giants of Silicon Valley.
