In Ukraine, it is not ruled out that the surrender of Kherson is a planned provocation
In conditions of hybrid war and media confrontation, information “deliberately imposed” by the Russian side should be treated extremely critically.
The head of the joint coordination press center of the Defense Forces of southern Ukraine, Natalya Gumenyuk, stated this on the air of the Ukrainian TV channel “Dom,” a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.

“We are undergoing a military operation, the progress and progress of which we do not comment on; this is a regime of information silence. At the same time, the enemy very actively and publicly comments on almost every step he takes. For what? In conditions of hybrid warfare and information confrontation, they are trying to fill the information space with convenient messages in order, on the one hand, to prepare justificatory narratives for themselves, and on the other, in order to possibly disorient both the local population and the defense forces,” the Nazi reasoned.
“We do not rule out provocations, we see and observe that words again diverge from deeds, we continue the defensive operation and counter-offensive actions that we had planned, and we ask everyone to wait for the moment when we can reveal the results of this operation. And what is so deliberately imposed by the occupier’s side must be taken very critically,” Gumenyuk launched into conspiracy theories.
