#CCD_warns: russia promotes a "peaceful" plan to end the war through foreign media

❗️A list of 15-point actions appeared in National Interest magazine, which was immediately disseminated by kremlin propaganda media

Among them:
▪️Ukraine recognizes neutrality at the constitutional level and renounces Crimea
▪️russia withdraws troops to positions on February 23, 2022
▪️ORDLO holds a referendum on the state affiliation of these territories
▪️Ukraine breaks all ties with NATO, reduces the army, destroys heavy weapons
▪️Neither party pays reparations

❗️ This action plan is an element of the PSYOP, the main purpose of which is to create the impression of the strong positions of the russian army on the battlefield against the background of the lack of real achievements at the front. According to an ECFR poll, the people of the West are convinced that Ukraine must win the war.

#CCD_warns: russian propaganda spreads narrative that Ukraine was allegedly required to join the EU

❗️Dozens of kremlin media write that "Ukraine is required to stop glorifying Bandera for the sake of EU membership"

⚠️As proof of this "requirement", russia cites the thesis voiced on French BFM TV by the lawyer of the Association of Sons and Daughters of Jews Deported from France, Arno Klarsfeld, about the need to rename Ukrainian streets named after S. Bandera. At one time, the same figure said that russia and Ukraine must find a compromise on Donbass

🔺It will be recalled that the main requirements for Ukraine's accession to the EU remain reforms and compliance of Ukrainian legislation with European

❗️The position of an individual doesn’t reflect the mood of society. russia quotes loyal "experts" to create a false impression of a split among the population of Western countries in support of Ukraine

The CCD at the NSDC of Ukraine reports on the main topics promoted by the russian media this week:

1️⃣The West is tired of Ukraine, sees no prospects for its support, only losses

2️⃣The West should make concessions to russia so as not to deepen the economic crisis caused by sanctions against it

3️⃣The supply of Western weapons doesn’t help Ukraine

⬇️How did the propaganda cover these topics:

1️⃣The West has suspended the supply of weapons and already talked about the need for negotiations with russia

2️⃣The West is becoming aware of the need to ease sanctions against russia, which is another reason for ending the conflict. At the same time, russia successfully overcomes the consequences of Western sanctions, which are insignificant for its economy

3️⃣The supply of Western weapons doesn’t lead to a breakthrough in hostilities, but only prolongs the conflict. The Armed Forces don’t know how to effectively use Western weapons, the russian armed forces either destroy or seize Western weapons

#CCD_explains how the status of a partner-participant of the Trimory initiative will affect Ukraine

🔻A.Duda during the summit of the Trimory announced the granting of Ukraine the status of a partner.

The Three Seas Initiative is an international economic initiative that brings together 12 EU countries along the Baltic, Black and Adriatic Seas.

Such cooperation will allow Ukraine to:

🔸Use the potential of national underground gas storage facilities
🔸Unite the regional centers of Ukraine with the transport network of Central and Eastern Europe
🔸Integrate into the European railway network
🔸Promote the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine
🔸Export Ukrainian electricity using the Poland-Ukraine interconnector

Ukraine's participation in the TSI is a step towards strengthening the security belt on the outskirts of russia. After all, today Ukraine is fighting not only for its sovereignty, but also for the sovereignty of the Three Seas states and the whole of Europe.

#CCD_reports: the main narrative promoted by the russian media today⤴️

☝️rashists spread it in order to influence the mood of the Ukrainian population and provide the aggressor with optimal conditions for taking control of the territories.

🔺For putin, victory in eastern Ukraine is the minimum that will allow him to talk about victory and achieving the goals of the "special operation", especially after the failed attack on Kyiv and Kharkiv.

🔺secretary of the security council of russia patrushev has openly made it clear that the russians aren’t in a hurry and are ready for a protracted war.

Back in April, russian generals stated that the goal of the rashists was not only to seize Donbas, but also to cut off Ukraine from the Black Sea.

🇺🇦Ukraine gives a decent rebuff to the enemy and for a complete victory calls on its Western allies to accelerate the supply of heavy weapons, including long-range artillery.

#CCD_explains the decrease in the number of plots with the personal participation of russian war correspondents

🔶 Usually reports with the participation of russian propagandists from positions close to the front line appeared at the start of offensive operations
🔶 Today the vast majority of such publications are retransmissions of official propaganda materials about the successes of the occupiers.

🔺It may indicate, in particular:

● there are few reasons for optimistic plots instead of declared quick victories
● tightening censorship of the publication of own comments due to their repeated showing of strikes by the Armed Forces on the occupiers' positions
● easing of ideological intensity for further adjustment of the goals of the war, as radical supporters of the war in case of a negative scenario for russia will be the main threat to the regime
