President Petro Poroshenko signed a Decree that enacts the NSDC decision "On the Information Security Doctrine of Ukraine” and approved the Doctrine. The document comes into force on the date of its publication.
As stated in the document, the necessity of adoption of the Information Security Doctrine of Ukraine is caused by the emergence of topical threats to national security in the information sphere, as well as by the need to determine innovative approaches to formation of the protection system and development of the information space in conditions of globalization and free flow of information.
The goal of the Doctrine is to clarify principles of formation and implementation of the state information policy, first of all with a view to counter the destructive information impact of Russia in conditions of hybrid war unleashed by it.
The document defines national interests of Ukraine in the information sphere, threats to their implementation, directions and priorities of the state policy in the information sphere. Its legal basis is the Constitution of Ukraine, laws of Ukraine, National Security Strategy of Ukraine approved by President’s Decree no. 287 of May 26, 2016, as well as international treaties approved as binding by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.
To implement the Doctrine, the NSDC must coordinate the activities of the executive bodies to ensure national security in the information sphere. Taking into account special conditions and holding of aggressive information war against our state not only on its territory, but also in the world, ensuring the implementation of the Doctrine is possible only in case of proper coordination of measures taken by all state authorities. The National Security and Defense Council will also determine the key measures under the provisions of the document.
