Russia attacks Ukrainians again with fakes: the expert told about the confrontation of the propaganda of the occupiers

The Russian IPSO is very active in social networks and more and more Ukrainians notice "treacherous" comments on "Everything is gone," says political scientist Artem Bronzhukov. The Russians continue to use the methods of information warfare without leaving attempts to loosen Ukrainian society, and now they have intensified these attempts with the growth of internal political struggle in Ukraine itself and against the background of recent scandals.

Political scientist Artem Bronzhukov told this in an interview with focus. One of the triggers, he said, was the words of Kyiv Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko Western media, from whom propagandists tore phrases from context on some authoritarianism in Ukraine. This is done for the sole purpose of killing a circle of discord in the Ukrainian society so that we can not be able to beat the enemy and actively support the Armed Forces.

On the other hand, the expert notes, since the beginning of a large -scale invasion of Russians in Ukrainian society there is a kind of collective agreement on the inappropriateness of criticism of power in the conditions of martial law. But it turned out that some officials were unable to keep this informal promise and the reconstruction of "betrayal" began. Journalists, civic activists and just people began to respond to different hosts, sometimes not unfounded, - says Artem Bronzhukov.

- It has greatly influenced the moral spirit of the public and the more panic moods accelerate, although it is really necessary to deal with corruption, the more Russian botoferms use the situation. The Russian IPSO is very active in social networks and, according to the political scientist, more and more Ukrainians notice "treacherous" comments on the topic of "everything is gone", which are exclusively to push Russian bots.

It should be understood that we really have problems with corruption and the authorities should not hide or smooth out such examples, honestly communicating with society, but society does not need to fall into panic, being exposed to panic on social networks. In order for these propaganda narratives not to work, the state must urgently build open communication with society, the expert said.
