Russia utilizing ‘disinformation’ to magnify army positive aspects in Ukraine

ussia has solely achieved “marginal gains” throughout its assault alongside the north of the frontline in Luhansk and Kharkiv oblasts, British defence chiefs have stated.
The UK’s Ministry of Defence (MoD) says Russia is utilizing “disinformation” to magnify these small army positive aspects in Ukraine.
In its newest intelligence replace, the MoD stated: “In recent days there has been an increase in artillery fire along the north of the front line, in Luhansk and Kharkiv oblasts. This has likely been accompanied by some increase in Russian small-unit assaults, but the situation has been obfuscated by Russian disinformation.”
They added: “Russia has likely only achieved marginal gains, but its renewed activity in the north highlights its importance to the Kremlin, when it is concurrently facing significant pressure in the southern Zaporizhzhia sector.”
The MoD stated that Russian strategists try “to create a buffer zone around Luhansk Oblast, the possession of which Russia almost certainly considers one of its fundamental objectives of the war”.
It comes after an alleged Ukrainian strike on an ammunition depot in Crimea on Saturday.
The assault, blamed on Ukraine by Russian officers, triggered a large explosion and led to the evacuation of civilians in a three-mile radius.
Russia responded by halting site visitors and rail providers throughout the Kerch bridge, which hyperlinks the Ukrainian peninsula to Russia and performs a key function in supporting its occupying forces.
The assault destroyed an oil depot and arms warehouses within the Krasnohvardiiske space, per week after a strike on the bridge 100 miles away.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has described the Kerch bridge – also called the Crimea Bridge – as a goal which should be “neutralised”.
