"There is nothing holy for propaganda": Yusov told how the Russian Federation uses IPSO v. Ukraine

According to the GUR representative, the Kremlin is still trying to split the Ukrainian public and attempts to undermine confidence in the Armed Forces and the authorities. The Russian narratives are promoting in the West. In addition to the battles on the forefront, the active phase of the information war is now underway, where the Russian Federation tries to intercept the initiative and uses a variety of methods.

"Russia also uses various painful topics, including the tragedies of prisoners of war. Please note what animal manic -taste they pick up and broadcast all, even the smallest, public actions of families of Ukrainian prisoners of war. There is nothing holy for Russian propaganda. Task.

And, unfortunately, there are people in Ukraine who consciously or unconsciously continue to pick up Russian propaganda narratives, " - said Andrey Yusov. The information war also extends to the West, where the Kremlin tries to undermine the faith in the victory of Ukraine, said a representative of the GUR. The main motives are the alleged fatigue from the war, as well as the scale of the Russian Federation, which is allegedly impossible to win.

"Russia remains very active on this field, continues to spend serious resources and discover new pressure directions on Ukraine's partners. For example, recent events in Africa. It can be clearly stated that Russia is behind them and trying to use it as an impact on European partners of Ukraine to reduce their support, " - summed up Andrei Yusov.
