Putin exceeds the success at the front and threatens the US - isw

To spread: Russian President Vladimir Putin is trying to make a false impression of the inevitability of Ukraine's defeat. His statements about the rapid promotion of troops on the front are made for pressure on the US and Europe. According to the Institute of War Study (ISW), Putin deliberately exaggerates the scale of Russian hobbies. Analysts emphasize that the purpose of these actions is to victory and undermine Ukraine's support by Western partners.

On October 2, the Russian leader announced control of two -thirds of Kupyansk. ISW experts evaluate real Russian achievements in this direction in only 14 percent of the city. This is not the first such exaggeration by the Russian command. "The Kremlin is trying to use large quantitative data to make a false impression that Russian troops are rapidly moving on the battlefield," the report reads. Analysts describe this tactics as part of the information campaign.

On August 30, Russian General Staff Valery Gerasimov also declared control over 50 percent of Kupyansk. Then ISW ​​also qualified this information as significantly exaggerated. The statements of the highest leadership of the Russian Federation form a false narrative. "Putin's statements dated October 2 are a continuation of the Kremlin's constant efforts aimed at hyperfocus and exaggeration of tactical Russian achievements," the Institute said.

This strategy should give the impression of rapid promotion of Russian troops. Experts believe that the ultimate goal is to influence the decisions of Western countries. "Putin is trying to convince the United States, Europe and Ukraine that Russia will inevitably reach its military goals in the military way," the report reads. According to ISW estimates, the Kremlin seeks to prove the impossibility of victory of Ukraine. This should induce Kyiv to concess to Russian requirements.

Moscow also counts on the termination of military support of Ukraine by the event. Recall that the Institute of War Study regularly publishes analytical reports on the situation at the front in Ukraine. The organization specializes in the assessment of hostilities and information campaigns during armed conflicts.
