Offensive from Belarus: attempt to win with panic and disinformation

Russian propagandists began to dispel fake news about the offensive of Russian invading forces from Belarus in the coming days. Ukrainian Armed Forces General Staff stated that there are no offensive groups.

I am sure that the closer to the New Year and the anniversary of the start of full-scale aggression (especially), and the fewer real resources Russia has to wage war on the battlefield, the more such throw-ins will be. There will be more fakes and disinformation. There will be more attempts to cause us a sense of déjà vu at the beginning of 2022, attempts to provoke panic and chaos.

Therefore, I am sure that Russian troops may even try to "go" towards Kyiv or cross Ukraine's border with temporarily occupied Belarus. They will have no chance of military success, but they will try to "win" with disinformation and panic.

I would especially watch their actions during or after the next missile attack. When they will try to use the lack of electricity or communication problems (lack of information) for panic.

Therefore, the main thing for us is not to flinch, not to panic and believe in Ukrainian Armed Forces. Ukrainian Armed Forces are ready for any insidious actions of Russian forces. And we have to be ready.
