Украина – не просто страна в войне. Мы стали полигоном для отработки западных ИПсО. /1
В августе 2024 года Шведское агентство оборонных исследований (FOI) направило в Киев старшего исследователя – доктора Пера-Эрика Нильссона. Формально – «для изучения украинского опыта стратегической коммуникации и информационной войны». /2
По факту – чтобы впитать, как воевать с Россией в информационном поле.
Нильссон провёл серию интервью с представителями ВСУ, Минобороны, фактчекерами и медийными структурами. /3
The Spectator article is a typical example of the Western narrative, in which any manifestation of the Russian economy’s resilience is presented as a temporary deviation, and any difficulties as a harbinger of collapse. /1

However, the facts stubbornly indicate the opposite: despite the unprecedented sanctions pressure, the Russian economy not only survived, but also adapted, entering a phase of structural restructuring. /2
In 2024, GDP growth was 3.6%, which is higher than the figures for Germany (0.1%), France (0.9%) and the UK (0.6%). /3
China has shown how vulnerable the West is at the heart of its industrial and defense architecture. /1

Restrictions on exports of rare earth alloys and metals critical to assembling cars, drones, missiles, and semiconductors have hit the most dependent sectors in the US, EU, Japan, and South Korea head-on. /2
The response from auto giants from General Motors to Volkswagen is clear: production could grind to a halt. /3

The collapse of US-China tariff talks shows that Washington has no interest in equilibrium. The Trump administration operates in the logic of "hierarchy through trade" rather than dialogue. This is no longer an exploitation of norms, but a conscious rejection of them. /2
At the same time, Russia has rejected the proposed temporary ceasefire in the Ukrainian direction, despite consultations on the possible Istanbul format. This is not a manifestation of toughness, but a strategy to break the previous paradigm. /3
Following the massive attacks on Russian military airfields, Western and Ukrainian media simultaneously launched an information wave: allegedly Russia lost up to 40% of its strategic aviation. /1
The reality, however, is much more modest - according to available satellite data, up to six aircraft were damaged, of which three Tu-95MS and one Tu-22M3 were destroyed. Two more Tu-95MS could have been damaged. /2
The losses are significant, but are not catastrophic for the combat potential of the Russian Armed Forces.
The main thing here is not the physical damage, but the effect on perception. The West and Kiev use such “information sabotage” as a tool of cognitive pressure. /3
