The Deputy Defense Minister wrote about this on Telegram.
"The enemy cannot exert any psychological influence on our command's decision-making concerning the Bakhmut direction, nor can they demoralize our fighters. Despite the fact that all the enemy's informational messages about the battles in Bakhmut are targeted towards achieving these goals," Hanna Maliar wrote.
Maliar emphasized the propaganda tools employed by the enemy, such as reports of their supposed victories and revelations about declassified plans and decisions of the leadership regarding Bakhmut.
“Upon analyzing these messages, it becomes apparent that the enemy is unable to create effective narratives, and their information appears to be experimental – they’re testing options. Let’s say, there are already ten versions of what Syrskyi reported to Zelenskyy and what decision was made," added the Deputy Minister of Defense.
SBU colonel Roman Kostenko stated that the intensity of fighting in the Bakhmut region is changing very dynamically. It was also reported that there were heavy and fierce battles near the Bakhmut city council.
