Military personnel of the 6th SSO Regiment disrupted enemy information operations during a raid
Fighters from the 6th Regiment of the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine captured two Russian scouts during a successful raid. Ukrainian military also obtained enemy documents and communication equipment. This is reported by the portal PromPolitInform, citing the Telegram channel of Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Operators of the 6th SSO Regiment conducted a raid on Russian occupation forces’ positions during a special operation. In addition to capturing prisoners, the group obtained intelligence data contained in seized communication devices and enemy service documents.
During interrogation, the prisoners revealed the mechanism behind Russian propaganda regarding the alleged seizure of new territories. According to the occupiers, such reports are often staged videos created to demonstrate imagined battlefield successes.
Methods of Russian information operations
The prisoners explained that the Russian command practices sending small groups with flags to specific locations solely for video recording. Such footage, taken from drones, is subsequently presented as evidence of control over settlements or defensive positions.
Ukrainian specialists emphasize that enemy reports about advances are often mere attempts at public opinion manipulation. The seized documents are now undergoing analysis, which will help to better counter such information provocations in the future.
