They want to divert attention from the failures of their own defense: the Center for Public Policy explains why russians are talking about "capturing Kyiv" again
Kyiv • UNN
russian propaganda falsely claims to have "captured Kyiv" in order to divert attention from its inability to defend its own territory and justify the continuation of the war against Ukraine.
russian propaganda has once again begun to claim the "capture of Kyiv" in an attempt to distract its own population from the inability of russian troops to defend their own territory. This was stated by the Center for Countering Disinformation, UNN reports.
Details
The CDC noted that a senior State Duma official, Andrei Kartapolov, commenting on the strike on a russian military enterprise producing UAVs, said that the "lawlessness of drones" would end after "the capture of Kyiv.
Ru-propaganda in the context of this statement promotes the narrative of Ukraine as a terrorist state, claiming that attacks are allegedly carried out on civilian objects
The CPD noted that these "terrorist antics" justify the need to continue the war. Although russia's full-scale invasion and massive strikes on Ukraine's civilian infrastructure began long before the drone attacks on targets in russia.
By talking about "Ukrainian terrorism," the enemy wants to shift the focus from the inability of the security forces to return a sense of security to the population of russia to hatred of Ukraine
Separately, analysts add that the russians do not have the resources to attack Kyiv. All such messages are "fear propaganda," sowing panic so that Ukrainians will flee Kyiv.
Recall
A Ukrainian long-range drone hit a large oil refinery in Nizhnekamsk, Tatarstan, and caused a fire. Sources told UNN that it was a joint operation of the SBU and the GUR of Ukraine.
