The swings of public opinion fluctuate from “terrible horror” to “burn, Moscow, burn!” influenced by the news. The Defense Forces’ strikes against the enemy truly give hope.
But hope should not blind us, as the enemy is far from defeated. They are pressuring the front, inventing new tricks and preparing to flood our defense with bodies after mobilization. They refine their strikes on peaceful cities, finding opportunities for attacks beforehand.
They work with our Western allies, nurturing populists and hoping for elections where these henchmen will speculate on problems and “get rid of old politicians together.”
These are serious challenges that require serious work. If only there were someone to work.
This is perhaps the enemy’s most serious attack—in undermining our internal potential and executing the entire list of destruction and chaos listed in the Russian intelligence services’ arsenal. Disorganization, delegitimization, disinformation, deconstruction, defragmentation, and other means of dismantling unity, undermining capacity, and disrupting resistance.
Carriers are direct agents of influence that have sown government bodies and their information service abundantly.
Assistants are useful idiots, ambitious ignoramuses, and corrupt thieves who are used—bribed, deceived, drawn into schemes—for the implementation of this scenario.
Overall, the scenario is a broad offensive by the “Anti-Maidan.” With persecution of the opposition, indulgence in skepticism towards Europe and Europeans, devaluation, and discrediting of dissenters and “those who are not like us,” and worst of all, the use of force and part of security structures for the oppression of opponents of the “dynasty.”
All that is so dear to the ruling “dynasty” and strengthens its status quo: corrupt schemes of siphoning budget money into their own pockets; monopoly on decision-making that undermines efficiency; the ban on criticism that prevents finding and correcting mistakes; distracting law enforcement from finding and neutralizing real agents of the enemy—all of this objectively works in favor of the enemy and their interests.
Therefore, Russia is interested in strengthening precisely these traits, which look most disgustingly in the ruling “dynasty” and consolidate it precisely as a “dynasty,” not as a government of a democratic country.
Because these traits pave the way to defeat. To the loss of allies, squandering of resources, rifts in society (and most frightening—between the military and civilians) and a general decrease in system resilience.
This is the cost of the revenge of the anti-Maidan “dynasty,” which rises and this time seeks to consolidate through control over the rear security forces, and through them—over courts, media, opposition, society.
This can still be stopped. Ukraine is a complex society where Russian templates often break. Revealing the truth and spreading information, overcoming the boundaries of “bubbles.” This is available to everyone. There is no shortage of information—we need to unite in conveying it.
The work of anti-corruption bodies that society has protected from being swallowed and now awaits results. The “dynasty” has initiated a whole reshuffling of government beds to hide those involved in schemes, about whom suspicions seem to be on the way out, but it will not find those who were not involved in schemes. And among those rejected by it, there will be an incentive to speak, so as not to become scapegoats.
Europe’s reaction. Adherence to democratic norms is embedded in the mechanism of fund allocation. It’s time to fully engage these levers because leniency now will cost too much later if the “dynasty” truly carries out its strike back.
The strength of the front is determined by the army’s struggle, but it’s supported by the rear’s strength. It is precisely this that the enemy is trying to breach, using the worst traits of the ruling “dynasty.”
But Ukraine is not about them. The horde has been shamed many times. It’s time to do it once again.
