SBU warns: the Russian Federation is preparing a series of IPSO operations regarding the situation in the temporarily occupied city of Oleshky
The Security Service of Ukraine warns that the Russian Federation has stepped up preparations for a number of information-psychological special operations concerning the situation in the temporarily occupied city of Oleshky in Kherson region. The SBU discovered this information during its counterintelligence activities.
According to operational information, servicemen of one of the occupiers’ units received an order to prepare a series of “compromising” interviews involving residents of the temporarily seized city.
In these clips, according to the enemy’s plan, local residents must necessarily:
▪️ accuse the Armed Forces of Ukraine of constant shelling and blockading the city;
▪️ discredit the decisions of our state’s military-political leadership;
▪️ express a positive attitude toward and gratitude to the military of the aggressor country.
According to the SBU, the hostile IPSO is scheduled to be implemented in October – early November of this year.
It should be noted that the aggressor is not succeeding on the battlefield, so it is trying by any means to undermine the psycho-emotional state of Ukrainians and destabilize the situation inside our state.
In this regard, we urge representatives of Ukrainian media and citizens:
▪️ to treat the emergence of such “sensational” information critically;
▪️ not to trust publications from hostile or pro-Russian Telegram channels;
▪️ not to spread unverified data;
▪️ to use information exclusively from official sources.
The SBU systematically counters attempts by Russian special services and military forces to conduct information-psychological operations against Ukraine. The Service continues to timely expose the enemy’s plans and to take comprehensive measures to neutralize them.
