From the "production of the Armed Forces" to "we beat where we want." As the Rivor's rhetoric on shelling of Ukraine changed
Initially, Russia denied its involvement in military crimes in Ukraine, and is now looking for a "legitimate military goal" in every civilian object. "This is all production," or how it all began in Bucha Russia brutally killed at least 1137 people. However, for a long time, all the Kremlin's mouthpieces in unison were repeated: all the atrocities in the town near Kiev - a matter of the hands of the Ukrainian military.
And this is despite numerous photos, video evidence and witnesses of eyewitnesses, who brought the guilt of the Russians. In the case of bombing of the Mariupol maternity hospital, Russia assured that the hospital was blown up from the inside of Azovtsi. This version was supported both at the official level, including the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry Sergey Lavrov, as well as in the most marginal Russian and telegrams.
The arguments were also the fact that journalists and the military allegedly appeared on the scene. Remember this technique - Russia will use it later. Similarly in the case of a drama theater in Mariupol: the Russian authorities assured that it did not bombard the building with a huge inscription "Children" nearby. And in general, according to the logic of Russia, in all the troubles of Mariupol were always guilty of ephemeral "extremists" and/or fighters of the regiment "Azov".
On April 8, 2022, Russian invaders struck a rocket strike at the Kramatorsk railway station. Then RIA Novosti published the planned news about the explosion before it actually occurred, and some Russian telegram channels immediately put forward a version of the Armed Forces. Once it was obvious that the blow was inflicted on civilians, the rhetoric of Russia changed: according to the new version, Ukraine wanted to "break the evacuation" (which she carried out) and "cover up with civilians".
Russia and the use of the point B rocket and the use of these complexes by Russian troops had previously confirmed independent investigators. However, over time, Russia had to gradually change tactics and begin to recognize shelling. Although recognizing: now in every blow to the civilian infrastructure of the Russian Federation sees a "legitimate military goal". "Legal Military Cell", or as Russia (not) is now justified on June 27, 2022.
In this terrorist attack, Russian propagandists began with the reception of "Bucha 2. 0. " and "Kramatorsk 2. 0. " (with a hint of staging). Now remember the bombing of the Mariupol maternity hospital: Russia has stated that journalists and the military have appeared too quickly. The fact is that similar statements were heard in the case of Amstor.
Like, if there were only military nearby, and civilians are not visible at all in the video from the place of the terrorist attack, then the shopping center was used as a military base. I would like to remind you that one and a half days after the strike on Amstra, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky posted a video that clearly shows the rocket's hit in the shopping center (and not the Hungariah near or oil refinery 14 km from the shopping center, as assured by the Russian Federation).
At that time, the propagandists had to admit that such terrorist attacks were "the sort of permanent petition to the psychic of the population of the impression of the state. " And in the end, "we will beat there, we will read for need,"-summed up the enemy. On July 9, 2022, Russia strikes a rocket strike on an apartment building in a time ravine in Donetsk region. As a result, 47 people were killed. This time, the Russian Federation did not deny its terrorist attack at all.
However, the reasons for the impact on an apartment building of course twisted. In particular, the psvedo-facing telegram-channel "War with Fakes" "denied the fake" that the blow was struck by an apartment building and died by its inhabitants. The Armed Forces and foreign mercenaries were allegedly based. On July 14, 2022, Russia carried out a terrorist attack in the center of Vinnitsa.
The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation first with the mouth of the propagandist Margarita Simonyan, and then officially, voiced the following versions: as if in the Officers' House there was a "temporary point of Natsikov" and "Meeting of the Command of the Air Force of Ukraine". As in the case of a ravine ravine, Russia did not hide a blow to a peaceful city, but immediately found a "legitimate military goal".
The next day, July 15, 2022, Russia destroys two universities in Nikolaev rockets. Already familiar to you, psvedo factors from the "War with Fais" will immediately declare: these are not peaceful objects, but the place of placement of the fighters of the National Guard of Ukraine. And so - another "legitimate military goal".
Why the Russian Federation has changed the rhetoric watching the Russians on social networks under personnel from the places of terrorist attacks of the Russian Federation, under the posts of "Kalibrovka" (so Russian telegram channels are called launches of missiles in the cities of Ukraine) and reports of the victims and dead. The complete approval of the killings of Ukrainians, and indifferently - military or children.
Therefore, the recognition of attacks on civilian objects enhances the image of a "strong state", "liberator" and "older brother", which provides orders in Ukraine, "denaccifies" and "demilitizes" Ukraine. Moreover, now, due to recognition of attacks on peaceful sites, it is gradually forming and promoting the narrative that Ukraine needs to agree to peaceful negotiations in order to avoid even greater victims in this war. That is to give up.
Therefore, because of the change in rhetoric, Russia is obviously trying to achieve several goals. First, sow panic among Ukrainians, including those who have remained in temporarily occupied territories, despairing them and shaking their confidence in the Armed Forces and the Ukrainian authorities. Secondly, to consolidate the image of the "invincible state-liberator", which destroys only military goals.
And thirdly, to convince the Western audience that it is impossible to do anything with the terrorism of the Russian Federation, so Ukraine must be forced to peace, moreover at any cost (for example, the price of territories). Practical conclusion for Ukrainians: Do not ignore air alarm signals and remember that there is no difference for the enemy. Any dwelling house in the eyes of the Russians turns into a "legitimate military goal".
