The enemy is intensifying destabilization efforts. Ukrainian intelligence calls on citizens for unity.
GUR head Kirill Budanov a new round of hostile information and psychological operations (IPSO) and calls on Ukrainian society for unity.
“Together with the aggravation of the situation at the front, the enemy is intensifying destabilizing efforts aimed at splitting Ukrainian society. In particular, it can use mass measures for this purpose, where it throws in its own provocations,” the report says.
Intelligence officers note that the enemy’s military targets are not only military facilities, but also civilian infrastructure: hospitals, train stations, crowds of people.
“Attempts at Russian information campaigns using political slogans that divide society are parasitic on real problems, but many of them are caused by the aggression of Putin’s Russia. In these difficult times, there is a need to maintain internal unity and support each other. The enemy knows how to perfectly manipulate feelings and despondency, emotions and facts, mixes truth with lies,” reports the GUR.
The agency also notes that Ukrainian information operations specialists are doing everything possible to protect society, but they are required from society mutual understanding and assistance.
Note that earlier the Center for Countering Disinformation under the National Security and Defense Council reported that manipulative messages regarding the presidential elections in Ukraine began to spread online.
