Ukraine's Strategic Countermove: Turning Russia's Propagandists into Weapons
Ukraine is using Russian propagandists, specifically milbloggers, to expose the truth about the situation facing Russian troops in the ongoing conflict. The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense highlighted posts made by Russian milbloggers describing the difficulties faced by Moscow's troops, including lack of support, casualties, and equipment issues. These milbloggers have admitted to only reporting a small fraction of the information they receive, indicating that the situation may be even worse than what is being revealed. Intercepted phone calls and testimonies from Russian soldiers and civilians further paint a grim picture of the front lines.
