Russia-Ukraine. Confrontation In Information Sphere. War In Internet

Support SouthFront

From the very beginning of the war in Ukraine, Kiev’s security services, under the leadership of the West, began actively pressurizing Russia in the information space.

Any information basis that could have at least a small but resonant response among Russian citizens who were dissatisfied with various aspects of the policies of the current government were used. For the most part, myths about the bloodthirstiness of the Russian military were actively spread in the networks of both information sites (and not only Ukrainian, but also authoritative Western publications, such as the Washington Post and BBC) and in Telegram channels, which began to actively gain popularity among the entire population of our planet. The masterful work of specialists in creative and targeted advertising actually made the Russian propaganda system incompetent and finally dropped its credibility.

Many videos are shot in a format accessible to young people, the main category of the population in which the AFU is interested. The Tiktok format is the most popular nowadays, but only makes most reasonable people laugh.

However, due to the development of hostilities, the provision of more and more military aid by the West and the outright absurdity of the theses promoted by Kyiv, the authority of both the Ukrainian media and the networks of Telegram channels has recently been falling sharply. This is especially evident against the backdrop of Ukraine’s catastrophic losses in the failed counteroffensive, which they have been so actively announcing since the beginning of 2023.

Now Kiev’s main goal is to replenish the army’s reserves to conduct defensive and, in the future, offensive operations on several sections of the front. However, for the majority of Ukrainian citizens, such videos are no longer motivating. They cause only laughter and disgust at the actions of the current government, which is actually sending more and more people to their deaths.

Reaction of Ukrainian citizens unwilling to die for something they don’t understand.

Reaction, adequate people who understand how the AFU behaves in reality, including with its citizens.

At the same time, Ukraine is actively continuing to disseminate video clips that are supposed to put pressure on Russian citizens both mobilized and going to the front as volunteers.

However, now if we look only at the official data on recruitment for contract service in the Russian Ministry of Defense and PMCs, the rate of recruitment is only increasing from the end of 2022. Russian citizens in order to help their country on the battlefield and, of course, to earn money for their future life more often arrive at recruitment points. According to the observations of Russians, every day at airports you can meet people in military uniform flying to camps for training volunteers.

In addition, Russian counterpropaganda has also made great strides toward improvement in 1.5 years. To date, the commercials for Ukrainians look something like this.

Here it is. Your “Counteroffensive”.

You thought you had many chances to stay alive.

But you did not want to flee the country in a woman’s dress. Your mother did not have enough money for a bribe, father not helped by old connections.

You tried to hide… But they need meat! Because they feel sorry for “The Leopards”. And own children are sorry, but you are not…

Now you only have one, last chance to stay alive.

This is your last chance!

Such text is used to influence Ukrainian citizens who are forcibly mobilized to implement a Ukrainian counteroffensive to satisfy Western customers.

Thus, with the development of the conflict in Ukraine, Russians are raising the level of their propaganda, while Ukrainians are only losing. Whether this is due to the fact that the confrontation with Russia is more and more clearly an excuse to Western curators or whether Ukrainians are simply tired of war. It is necessary to follow the developments and track further progress.
