Details: Ukraine's Defence Intelligence reports that on 25 August, the Russian Presidential Administration held a meeting to discuss the next stage of the information war in the Ukrainian and global media.
The event was attended by Sergei Kirienko, First Deputy Chief of Staff of the Putin Administration, Kremlin "technologists" and representatives of media resources involved in information operations.
According to the UDI, the topic of the meeting was the approval of specific narratives that would discredit Ukraine and influence its partners in the world.
Ukrainian intelligence reports that in the near future, Russian propaganda will focus on using such topics and narratives:
- Mass mobilisation: all Ukrainians without exception, regardless of gender, age or health status, will be subject to mobilisation; mobilisation will apply to minors.
- Disbelief of Ukrainian partners in the possibility of victory: "agreements" on "peace in exchange for territories"; political deals (fabrication of materials about the "secret agreement" between Kyiv Mayor Vitalii Klitschko and representatives of the US Republican Party to support him in the upcoming presidential election).
- Ukrainian counter-offensive has no success: increasing the number of burials of Ukrainian soldiers in cemeteries of large cities; lack of success at the front with heavy losses; replicating the theme of the deaths of local defenders in every oblast of Ukraine; the Ukrainian authorities "surrendering" Kupiansk; searching for those responsible for "failures" to discredit Ukrainian military leaders and officials.
- Ukraine gives up the occupied territories: demonstration of fabricated documents;
- Total corruption: the state does not fight corruption; the budget is stolen, procurement is not carried out, and there is no punishment for corrupt officials.
- "Beautiful" life in the occupied territories: high salaries, low prices, provision of everything necessary; infrastructure development and reconstruction of destroyed housing; free elections on a single voting day under the laws of the Russian Federation.
