By exploiting tic of hunger, Russia pursues attempts to sow chaos

That’s according to the Center for Countering Disinformation, Ukrinform reports.

The CCD emphasizes enemy attempts to label railway infrastructure as their legitimate "military target" in order to justify attacks on civil sites in Ukraine and use it as a pretext for more strikes.

Such reports circulated during the harvesting campaign are part of the Russian strategy of terror through hunger, in which the aggressor state has been destroying Ukrainian grain from the outset of the full-scale invasion.

By "announcing" strikes on trains carrying grain and exploiting the tic of hunger that is sensitive for Ukrainians, Russia pursues the attempts to sow panic and destabilize the country from within. In addition, Russia is trying to portray Ukraine as an unreliable grain supplier in order to discredit the government in the eyes of the international community.

As reported, Russian pragandists are actively spreading the news about the re-ening of a rail station in temporarily occupied Mariup flowing repair and of social infrastructure facilities in Severodonetsk, although it was Russian bombardments that have been pummeling Ukrainian cities.
