The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) has remained remarkably tight-lipped about milblogger critiques of Russian failures throughout the war in #Ukraine — unlike the #Kremlin, which will occasionally indirectly address milblogger narratives. /1
isw.pub/UkrWar110722
The MoD’s public response to milblogger outcry indicates that some Russian milbloggers have considerable leverage to shape MoD interactions in the information space and additionally suggests that the situation in Pavlivka is dire enough to warrant a response. /2

Key #Kremlin officials and entities including the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev, and #Putin himself began collectively de-escalating their rhetoric regarding the use of nuclear weapons in early November.🧵
Putin and key Kremlin officials had increased their references to the use of nuclear weapons from Putin’s September 30 annexation speech and throughout October, likely to pressure Ukraine into negotiations and to reduce Western support for Kyiv. /2

The Kremlin’s rhetorical shift indicates that senior Russian military commanders and elements of the Kremlin are likely to some extent aware of the massive costs for little operational gain Russia would incur for the use of nuclear weapons against Ukraine or NATO. /3
