They swear their success: The ISW explained Peskov's words about panic in the Armed Forces

According to analysts, the Kremlin Prescribe Dmitry Peskov unreasonably stated that panic among Ukrainian forces on the forefront was growing. So he tries to psychologically influence the population of Ukraine. On April 28, the "information resistance" was warned that the Russian occupation authorities activate information operations to undermine confidence in the Ukrainian authorities and military in the occupied parts of Ukraine.

About it reports "Institute of War Study" in the summary of April 28. Information operations of the Russian Federation are aimed at discrediting the Ukrainian military and political leadership, inciting panic among Ukrainians and discrediting the Armed Forces. The Kremlin Prescribe Dmitry Peskov unreasonably stated that panic among Ukrainian forces is growing, so he tries to sow panic among the population of Ukraine.

Peskov's statement is probably also aimed at artificially exaggerating the success of recent tactical offenses of Russian troops in certain areas of the front. This link is already addressed to the Russian audience. On April 28, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Maria Zakharova repeated the template Russian narratives about the supported Russian Federation of Transnistria.

Zakharova continued to portray Russia as a legitimate guarantor and mediator in 5+2 negotiations on this conflict. The negotiations are attended by: Ukraine, the Russian Federation, Transnistria, Moldova and the OSCE as a mediator, as well as the EU and the US as observers. Russia is not an impartial external side in the conflict between Moldova and Transnistria and, therefore, cannot be considered a legitimate mediator, consider in ISW.
