“Do not share your personal information and opinions in open chats, groups, or forums. Avoid disputes on provocative topics,”<\/em> the ministry’s representatives emphasized.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The institution further recommended avoiding the publication of detailed data about the place of study, work or residence, limiting access to profiles on social networks, not providing answers to personal questions, and not accepting unknown people into the friends list.<\/p>\n

In case of identifying signs of recruitment or pressure, citizens were advised to immediately contact the law enforcement agencies.<\/p>\n
