HIP and Views: The expert explained that it is criticized by the Armed Forces in the Western media

The theme of the Ukrainian counter -offensive was forced by Western media and picked up by Russian propaganda for its own purposes. The high expectations of the event from the results of the Ukrainian counter -offensive have negative consequences in the information field, but do not reflect the objective situation. A real assessment can only be given by knowing the true concept of the General Staff of the Armed Forces. Political expert Oleg Lisovy told this in the focus comment.

"If I am not mistaken, then the term" counter -offensive "is a product of Western observers and the media. We have called it and continue to be called - offensive and defensive actions. Agree, the name" counter -offense "is more interesting to the reader than any incomprehensible actions. All this was supported Comparison with the counter -offensive in the Kharkiv region, where the forces of Ukraine's defense promptly and enchantically drove the enemy and freed most of the territory.

In my opinion, this campaign was created to mobilize the support of the event as much as possible, giving it specific examples of the efficiency of the Ukrainian army, " - said Focus political expert. Oleg Forest. He noted that these high expectations now have some negative consequences. First of all, because of the actions of Russian propaganda - they picked up the theme of the counter -offensive and created a powerful information field sharpened under the key words "counter -offensive".

"Remember what was the information flurry that the counter -offensive has already begun and choked. At the same time, our officials reported that it is still under planning and training. I will remind that the logic of submitting information about the course of hostilities in Ukraine was built in such a way that it is not as much as possible harm the military. Therefore, the information is provided with some delay, "the expert said.
