Russia has found a replacement for rockets: what a new Kremlin strategy is calculated and how to protect the Ukrainians

Missiles cannot win Ukraine - and Russia launches a new weapon, psychological, writes philosopher Vladimir Yarmolenko. She seeks to settle in the souls of Ukrainians despair, to create the impression that everything is destroyed and crumbled . . . Reading the news ribbon, I (apparently, and you) feel that the world is slowly screaming. Scattered. Root. Is destroyed. When I get into material reality, and especially when we go Ukraine, I have a different feeling. Everything stands. The roots were released.

Has a stock solid. The millions of worry steps. No one goes anywhere. And then I understand very clearly: Russia will not overcome us by force, will not destroy us with rockets. But it can overcome. Microscopic virus. Thought. Perception. Emotion. If they manage to make us think in a certain way, to feel in a certain way, to perceive in a certain way - then they have a chance to win. What is the thought-virus? That everything is destroyed. That everything is crumbled. That everything is scattered.

That everything is made of sand. That your neighbor is an enemy. That "above" is only traitors. And "below". And through the road. In short, we are a card house. Information and propaganda are not just weapons. It is more powerful than ordinary weapons. The purpose of the information war is not to mislead and not to tell. Its goal is to make the enemy think as you want. To act as you want. That is to deprive him of his own will. Will is the key word of Ukrainian culture.

Because it is both freedom, and will, and the will to master their will and the will of others. Russia cannot win us. But it can start the virus through which we will defeat ourselves. Through which we direct our will against ourselves. This has been the case in our history repeatedly. Time is finally learning from your own mistakes.
