Deputy Commander of the 10th Army Corps, Colonel Roman Zabrodskyi, stated that the enemy deliberately misleads both its own population and the international community, using information provocations as an element of psychological and informational pressure.

He reported this on the corps’ channel, which is defending in the Kharkiv region.

“I am far from believing that the enemy does not possess real situational awareness. Most often their claims about capturing this or that settlement do not correspond to reality”, — Colonel Zabrodskyi said.

He also drew attention to the enemy’s typical tactics following such informational statements.

“Usually after such announcements, the enemy moves on to more intense actions. And after 2–5 days the activity somewhat decreases. After that, they periodically act in small groups — 2–3 servicemen, often along the same route”, — Zabrodskyi said.
