Intelligence warns of Russia's preparations for a new information campaign against Ukraine
Kyiv • UNN
The Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine (SZRU) has exposed Russian plans to discredit mobilization and the Ukrainian leadership through fakes. Over 15 Western proxy media outlets will be involved in the campaign.
The Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine reports on Russian plans to destabilize the situation in Ukraine and discredit international support. This is stated in a message from the agency, UNN reports.
The Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine has gained access to a number of Russian documents indicating preparations to destabilize the situation in our country and undermine its external support. As it became known, the reason for the Russian Federation's decision is the failure of the spring offensive and critical problems in the economy,
The Administration of the President of the Russian Federation demands that the special services, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Russian media maximize the "promotion" of a media campaign in the Ukrainian and European space. The Directorate of the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation for Strategic Partnership and Cooperation (headed by V. Titov) has identified three agenda items.
First – discrediting mobilization in Ukraine and the military leadership responsible for manning the Defense Forces of Ukraine. This task is critical for them against the backdrop of heavy Russian losses at the front.
Second – discrediting the President of Ukraine, his team, and family members.
Third – preventing the "media scandal surrounding A. Yermak and the interview with Iu. Mendel" from becoming secondary. The Kremlin considers this case important, but one that was pushed out of the European information space by international events, in particular the situation surrounding Iran.
To cause public resonance, the Russian "media plan" involves developing fake documents on behalf of state authorities and leaking them to the public. Russian propaganda has even set the task of creating "puppet symbols" for the discredit campaign. In addition, attempts are planned to involve former Ukrainian officials, political figures, and experts in Russian schemes.
As of today, we are already recording the first attempts by the Russian Federation to act according to the new scenario not only in Ukraine but also abroad,
Certain documents indicate that more than 15 proxy media outlets are planned to be used for distribution exclusively in the Western information space. Among them are such odious media resources as L'Antidiplomatico, Magyar Nemzet, Prvni Zpravy, and CZ24.news. The list is incomplete and is to be approved by the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation in the near future.
The materials obtained by the Foreign Intelligence Service indicate that Russia plans only to ramp up the campaign, expand destructive narratives, and scale the audience and geography of distribution,
