The NYT article on the leakage of the Armed Forces Counter -offensive documents alarmed the propagandists of the Russian Federation - ISW
The report of April 7 states that Russian Telegram channels are additionally circulating the clearly falsified versions of documents that lower the declared losses of Russia and overstate the number of losses of the Armed Forces. However, Russian warriors are afraid that this leak is a misinformation campaign designed to mislead the Russian military command. According to analysts, some Russian warriors immediately rejected the authenticity of the documents.
Moreover, there are those who believe that the leakage of documents is the case of the hands of Ukrainians. Also, one of the militarys noted that there is a historical precedent for the spread of false information about planning before the start of a sudden offensive. In his opinion, there is now a similar situation. The warrior called the Russians to be careful when discussing the place of the Armed Forces counter -offensive.
Analysts believe that the reaction of warriors suggests that they are very afraid of the Armed Forces and information about it in the public space. We will remind, on April 7 it was reported that the network ran into the US counter -offensive of the Armed Forces, which is why the Pentagon had to start his own investigation. Although they have neither plans nor dates for counter -offensive, they can give many tips for the Russian military command.
Then Reuters reported that the US considers Russia involved in the leakage of "documents" on the counter -offensive of the Armed Forces. According to anonymous US officials, the data published on the network has nothing to do with the real plans of Ukraine on the battlefield. The Pentagon conducts its own investigation. After that, the NYT stated that a new party of secret documents appeared on the network.
