IPSО at the final stage of exchanges: Russia will try to 'push' fake lists of the dead.

The Ukrainian Foreign Intelligence Service reported that Russia is preparing to conduct an information-psychological operation aimed at provoking outrage in Ukrainian society and discrediting the country internationally. In particular, it is planned to spread fake stories about the fact that the Ukrainian authorities deliberately do not return the bodies of fallen soldiers and civilians.

According to intelligence reports, the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, issues orders regarding the start of this operation, and the actions of officials and responses in the press are monitored by one of the first deputies of the head of the Russian presidential administration. Pro-Kremlin resources in the Russian-speaking internet are involved in spreading disinformation, intending to manipulate information and create a negative perception of Ukraine.

The role of pro-Russian resources in the information campaign

• Ukraine refuses to accept the bodies of its fallen.
• In Ukraine, the bodies of almost six thousand soldiers have still not been returned.
• Relatives of the fallen will have to wait a long Time due to the inactivity of the Ukrainian authorities.

It is expected that the main stage of the information-psychological operation will be the dissemination of unreliable lists of fallen Ukrainian military and civilians identified by Russian forces. Russia hopes to provoke panic and outrage among the Ukrainian society and shift the blame for its crimes onto the Ukrainian authorities. The Foreign Intelligence Service urges Ukrainians and the international community to remain vigilant and not to cooperate with the enemy's provocations.

The Ukrainian intelligence warns of a possible information attack by Russia aimed at misinformation and causing negative sentiment in Ukrainian society. Together with international partners, Ukraine is ready to act promptly and effectively to counter such destabilization attempts.

The news about the plans of the Russian Federation to conduct an information operation against Ukraine spreads quickly and easily, avoiding formal and neutral expressions. Intelligence reports a possible scenario aimed at spreading fake stories and discrediting Ukraine. The need to be cautious and avoid cooperation with the enemy's provocations underscores the threat that the Russian information operation may pose to the country.
