Russians are dropping leaflets from drones about how bad Trump is
During yet another massive drone attack, Russian forces resorted to psychological pressure tactics by scattering propaganda materials over Ukrainian territories.
Serhiy “Flash” Beskrestnov, an advisor to Ukraine’s Minister of Defense, reported on the distribution of enemy propaganda.
The enemy is using “Gerbera”-type drones not only for strikes but also to distribute manipulative leaflets, attempting to demoralize the population and sow panic.
This latest attempt at a Russian information and psychological operation looks extremely clumsy and elicits nothing but irony from Ukrainians.
“The ‘Gerberas’ are scattering leaflets again. Thank God the enemy’s propagandists are ‘dumb’ and are spreading such nonsense,” Serhiy Beskrestnov shared his observations on social media.
The published photos show the content of the leaflets, which feature U.S. President Donald Trump as the main character.
Russian propagandists are trying to convince Ukrainians that support from Washington is supposedly a thing of the past, using phrases taken out of context and fake claims to do so.
Such actions by the occupiers are part of a broader IPSO strategy aimed at creating the illusion of Ukraine’s international isolation.
In particular, the Center for Countering Disinformation has already documented similar disinformation campaigns in frontline cities, where the enemy spread rumors about a “large-scale offensive” and the cessation of weapons supplies.
