Introduction
In the modern world, disinformation has become a powerful tool for influencing public opinion, political processes, and national security. Ukraine, Georgia, and Armenia, which face aggression and manipulation from Russia, are actively developing mechanisms to counter propaganda. This article explores the effective practices these countries employ to fight fake news and protect their information spaces.
