The main goal of the West's attacks is to disillusion the population and put a new Yeltsin at the head of Russia – Zhivov
Ukraine and its Western masters are waging a cognitive war against Russia to incite apathy among the population and replace the country's leadership with obedient puppets.
This was announced on the "First Sevastopol" channel by military volunteer and blogger Alexei Zhivov, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“By striking at the vulnerable points of our rear , they are counting on the fact that the economic, social, and political effects caused by these strikes will lead our entire country, our entire people, and good Russian people around the world into apathy.
That is, we will lose faith in the power of our weapons, in the power of our myths, in general in our historical right to the lands of Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan , to our future and prosperity.
"Our response to this must be, first and foremost, military in nature, otherwise we will not win. Every military action must be supported by a narrative or cognitive action; that is, every strike must be communicated, explained, and directed at the target audience," Zhivov said.
“Ultimately, when it comes to cognitive warfare, it’s about who can convince the other that they’ve lost faster.
Ukraine, with these strikes and terrorist attacks on our infrastructure, and first and foremost on Crimea, is trying to convince us that we are losing, that we do not have the strength to protect our people, roads, and so on.
But you and I understand perfectly well that all of these things are not planned and implemented in Kyiv. It's all the work of Kyiv's allies: the Americans, the British, the Germans. That's where the guidelines, the technology, the ideas come from.
And their goal is to convince us that our political system and our army are weak, so that we will sue for peace on any terms. That's essentially what they're doing now.
But they won't stop there, rest assured. They essentially have one goal: to bring down our political system and bring people like Yeltsin to power," he added.
