According to the GUR, recently, videos have been appearing one after another on TikTok and other social networks, in which allegedly Ukrainian men are filming themselves abroad on vacation and calling themselves "evaders.
Videos quickly gain views and favorable or critical comments, but this only pushes them into trends.
Reportedly, "folk" songs were simultaneously created for such content, with lyrics that always contain the main message of praising "evaders.
The synchronized appearance of numerous songs and videos "heroizing" men who refuse to stand up for their country, the anonymity of their authors, and the promotion of this content by organized groups of bots indicate a targeted hostile propaganda campaign
Ukrainian intelligence notes that such IPSO is a classic technology for splitting society, with "defenders" on the one hand and "evaders" on the other. The purpose of such actions of the enemy is to disrupt mobilization, increase tension in society through internal confrontation.
"The Kremlin's propaganda does not stop trying to undermine Ukrainian society from within, to discredit the image of the Defenders of Ukraine, using any methods to do so. We urge everyone to be critical of information coming from anonymous sources and always remember that we owe the opportunity to live and consume various content on social networks only to the Defenders of Ukraine," the DIU emphasized.
