Ukraine risks losing control over Kyiv – Russia’s new disinfo

The Center for Strategic Communications reports on June 9.

It is noted that the Russian propagandists are citing the statement of former CIA agent Larry Johnson. "By spreading this lie through the mouth of another Western pseudo-expert, the Kremlin is attempting to sow panic among Ukrainians," the Center stated. "The shameful retreat of the occupying army from the Kyiv region in the spring of 2022 was undeniable proof that their plans to seize the capital of Ukraine will never come true."

The Center for Strategic Communications emphasized that since 2022, significant efforts have been made to strengthen the defense borders. Currently, hundreds of kilometers of fortifications have been constructed around Kyiv, and multiple defense rings have been established.

"Fortifications are also being intensively built in Kyiv, Chernihiv, Sumy and other regions of Ukraine. A repeated Russian offensive on Kyiv would be a military disaster for them - even more terrible than in 2022,” the statement said.
