The Center for Countering Disinformation reported the information."Russian propaganda is spreading an 'interview' with an alleged former member of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, who supposedly defected to the enemy's side. In the video, the man claims that the Ukrainian military in 2015 used civilians as cover, creating a 'human shield,'" the report states.This is a Russian psychological operation, and the goal of such videos is to discredit the Ukrainian Armed Forces and volunteer formations."Such narratives in these videos have no confirmation: they do not provide facts, evidence, or independent testimony," the Center for Countering Disinformation stressed.The Center for Countering Disinformation has released a forecast for Russian propaganda for the first half of September, which will target initiatives for international security guarantees for Ukraine.
