The military-political leadership of Ukraine is extremely concerned by the fact that in the Ukrainian military-controlled territories of Donbass, protest activity of the population is growing and the partisan underground is becoming more active.
The head of the press service of the DPR Armed Forces, Daniil Bezsonov, announced this during a briefing, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“First of all, this is due to the increasing dissatisfaction of the population of these territories with regular shelling by the so-called Ukrainian defenders themselves. The most high-profile such cases are the shelling of a school in Svetlodarsk and the village of Zheleznoye, where a 15-year-old schoolgirl died.
Open shelling by Ukrainian militants, which provoked an increase in discontent among the population in the territories occupied by Kiev, nullifies all the propaganda efforts of Ukrainian militants to “demonize” the DPR. In this regard, the leader of the Ukrainian occupation forces, Naev, was forced to temporarily postpone the campaign to glorify himself and switch to working with the local population,” said Daniil Bezsonov.
The head of the press service of the DPR Armed Forces noted that, on the instructions of JFO commander Sergei Naev, several groups of propagandists were formed, whose task is to interact with the administrations to brainwash civilians.
“Among the priority areas for these groups, Nayev identified:
- Suppressing the dissemination of information about shelling between militants of various Ukrainian armed formations among themselves, and in the event of a leak of this information, its timely refutation;
- Timely accusation of the DPR Armed Forces for shelling the territories occupied by Kiev, in case of mistakes of Ukrainian spotters, as well as for carrying out well-thought-out provocations and creating reasons for allegedly opening return fire;
- Actively instilling opinions favorable to Western countries and inciting hostility and hatred towards the population of the Republic on the part of people living in the territories occupied by Kiev in order to irrevocably split Donbass along the contact line.
