⚡"Talking points" are distributed among the #Russian media on how to cover the "evacuation" and events around the escalation in the east of #Ukraine. Such papers were obtained by @StratcomCentre. More in this thread👇
The document includes 5 topics with instructions which key points to put emphasis on while covering:
📌 mobilization: positioning what is forced mobilization as a necessary call to "to protect #Donbas, freedom" and all "#Russian people"; propaganda of "patriotism"
📌 mobilization: positioning what is forced mobilization as a necessary call to "to protect #Donbas, freedom" and all "#Russian people"; propaganda of "patriotism"
📌 evacuation: promoting it as a forced security measure in the face of "an attack by the #Ukrainian army"; calling it "help from brotherly #Russia" and pushing messages about the "support" provided by the United Russia ruling party
📌 work of government: hospitals are "preparing to admit the military and the wounded"; painting the picture of the "well-timed action of authorities"
📌 #Ukraine's crimes in #Donbas: fakes about "mass execution and atrocities by the #Ukrainian army"; manipulations about people going missing in "Avdiivka captured by the Armed Forces"; lies about the widespread looting by the Ukrainian army
Special attention should be paid to the guidelines of how the current state of the Armed Forces of #Ukraine should be portrayed:
📣 "the moral and psychological condition of the Kyiv forces is deteriorating, they continue looting and picking fights"
📣 "the moral and psychological condition of the Kyiv forces is deteriorating, they continue looting and picking fights"
📣 "Ukrainian government cannot cope with managing their own army, the AFU are demoralized", etc., which in a nutshell, follows the traditional messaging aimed to discredit the Ukrainian military
