The Kremlin has already distributed the techniques: propaganda is ready to justify for new defeats of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation - ISW

Analysts from the American Institute for War Study (ISW) have stated this. The report of May 2 states that the Kremlin wants to soften shock in Russian society, as well as to justify that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation stands in deaf defense. Thus, the opposition edition of Medusa was able to obtain a technique that propagandists are advised to "reduce the expectations for the announced Ukrainian counter -offensive", and not to say that the Armed Forces are not ready.

Instead, the pro -Kremlin media reported that the event supports Ukraine and supplies its weapons. In this way, propagandists will then be able to explain why the Armed Forces were able to succeed. If the counter -offensive fails, then the Russians will tell how the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation restrained the pressure of the enemy, which is superior. The report states that in Moscow it is expected that Ukraine will be successful.

"It is an important Russian adaptation of previous Ukrainian counter -offensives in Kherson and Kharkiv, which caused dramatic upheavals and demoralization both in the Russian Armed Forces and in the Russian information space," the report said.

It should be reminded that according to Russian oppositionist Andrei Piontkovsky, the Kremlin can twist everything as if Russian troops will "retreat heroically" not through the counter -offensive of the Armed Forces, but to eliminate the consequences of some catastrophe and save people. It was also reported that the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Alexei Reznikov stated that Russia would soon declare a man -made disaster.

He is convinced that Russian society is increasingly difficult to convince the success of the "special operation". The Kremlin will have to eliminate public attention to combat cataclysm - to which Russian soldiers will be involved. In addition, the Colonel of the Armed Forces Roman Svitan said Putin could declare the end of his "his" on May 9.
