The head of the NSDC GPA explained that the deployment of oreshnik in Belarus is purely informational in nature. This is another attempt by the Russian Federation to intimidate the West and influence public sentiment in Europe.
Russia continues information manipulation, using fear propaganda to influence the West. The deployment of oreshnik in Belarus, like previous statements about nuclear weapons, is purely informational in nature and is intended to intimidate the civilian population and change public sentiment in Europe. This was announced by the head of the Center for Countering Disinformation of the national security and Defense Council of Ukraine Andriy Kovalenko, writes UNN.
"The show with oreshnik in Belarus is another horror story, the effectiveness of which Putin was convinced by Kiriyenko and Patrushev," Kovalenko wrote.
According to him, this issue is still informational in nature. However, even the potential deployment of oreshnik in this region does not pose an additional threat to Ukraine or NATO, since there is no fundamental difference between where it starts – from Kapustyn Yar or from Belarus.
All the statements about reducing the approach time are just an attempt to intimidate the civilian population of Ukraine and the West.
"This thing will not play a role for missile defense systems. Just like it was with the dagger that was shot down by The Patriot for the first time in history last year. But for placement, you will have to solve a number of technical issues.Russia's main goal is to raise the stakes by promoting fear against the West," he added.
Kovalenko notes that the nuclear weapons in Belarus did not meet expectations in the information war, so the oreshnik is used as a response to the use of western long-range weapons against the Russian Federation. The deployment of oreshnik in Belarus is purely informational in nature and will be promoted through the narrative of" approaching the borders of NATO "in order to influence public sentiment in Europe.
"At the same time, Putin is trying to hide the fact that one of the two oreshnik launches was already unsuccessful," he added.
Recall
Putin and Lukashenko signed a new Union Treaty on security guarantees, which allows the deployment of oreshnik ballistic missiles in Belarus.
