This Textbook Will Help Young People Not Only To Know Possible Threats, But Also To Realistically Assess Them, Help Develop The Ability To Distinguish Truth From Manipulation, Understand The Peculiarities Of Hybrid Warfare And The Importance Of Information Security. I Believe That The Knowledge Gained Will Give Young People Self-Confidence In Critical Situations, Will Help Them Understand That State Security Is Inseparable From Our Freedom And Part Of The Future. I Wish Students To Use This Publication Not Only In National Security And National Defense, Citizenship Basics, Life Skills, And History Lessons, But Also In Discussions Beyond Them, Because A Safe State Starts With A Knowledgeable And Responsible Citizen, Said Minister Of Education, Science And Sports Raminta Popoviene.
