Russia is scaling up an information operation against Ukraine: accusing Kyiv of unwillingness to negotiate - intelligence

Russia has launched a new wave of information attacks against Ukraine. Moscow accuses Ukraine of allegedly not wanting to negotiate an end to the war. This was reported by the press service of the Foreign Intelligence Service, writes UNN.

In the first five days of April, a new Russian information campaign aimed at discrediting Ukraine was recorded. The aim of this operation is to accuse Kyiv before the EU and the US of allegedly not wanting to negotiate an end to the war,

Thus, Moscow is trying to shift responsibility for the duration of hostilities to Ukraine, creating a false image of a "peacemaker" ready for agreements. Leading Russian propaganda media, such as Gazeta.ru, Sputnik, Vedomosti and Military Review, are involved in this information attack.

In addition, Russia seeks to penetrate the global information space, creating the impression of general "fatigue from Ukraine." To this end, foreign proxy media that position themselves as independent sources are used. These include Reseau International (France), Magyar Hírlap (Hungary), L'AntiDiplomatico (Italy), Ereport (Slovakia) and others

At the same time, there is penetration into the Ukrainian information space through anonymous Telegram channels, pseudo-patriotic TikTok accounts and YouTube content that mimics the opinions of Ukrainian military or "independent experts." These resources disseminate the same messages in different formats: author's columns, fake interviews, "analytical" blogs, graphics and videos on social networks. This approach creates the illusion of a multi-voiced discussion, which is actually coordinated from a single center in the Kremlin.
