Russians shift tactics as propaganda war escalates
The Russian military cannot break the deadlock on the front. Although Putin’s soldiers continue to strike at critical points on the map of Ukraine, they have been unable to recapture Kursk. Consequently, the Russians have altered their warfare tactics. They are harassing the Ukrainians with precision attacks and have intensified their propaganda efforts.
The situation at the front has remained essentially unchanged since last autumn. The Ukrainians are defending part of the Kursk region, and the Russians are targeting locations in eastern Ukraine, subjecting western Ukrainian lands to regular air raids.
The Kremlin is slowly gaining more kilometres of land, but progress is not as the Russians had anticipated. According to an analysis by “Newsweek,” this has prompted Moscow to adjust its military tactics. Two issues are of particular significance.
The new action plan involves planning a strike. The Russians first deployed drones to conduct reconnaissance. They then attempt attacks using fibre-optically guided FPV drones. At this stage, it is clear that a large-scale bombardment will ensue shortly.
Russian propaganda in action. They were caught in a lie
Russian propaganda is becoming increasingly active. Moscow utilises means of communication to portray to Russians that the army is continuously achieving successes at the front while attempting to discredit Ukrainians. Some examples are utterly bizarre.
"Newsweek" reports that the Russians have begun accusing Ukrainians of kidnapping North Koreans, handing them over to South Korean intelligence or selling their organs on the black market.
False information is circulating regarding the destruction of the headquarters of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Sumy (a missile did fall in the area, but it destroyed a residential building where 10 civilians died). Propagandists even claimed that a fire in Los Angeles burned eight homes of Ukrainian generals worth over £70 million.
