Russian military authorities announce ban on strikes on Kyiv

Russia allegedly banned strikes on targets in Kyiv and Ukraine's infrastructure - Russian military officials

The Russian military telegram segment spreads information about an alleged order not to strike at targets in the city Kyiv, Kyiv region and the infrastructure of the whole of Ukraine.

The sources are the unofficial channels of the so-called «military commanders». No documentary evidence or statements from the official military structures of the Russian Federation have been made public.

There is no official position

At the time of publication, there was no public confirmation from the Russian military and political leadership. Ukrainian state authorities have also not reported any change in the nature of the threats or a reduction in the risk of attacks.

Information security experts point out that such fakes are often used as an element of information and psychological influence and cannot be considered reliable without official statements.

Intelligence warning of a possible new massive attack

Notification of impending attacks

The day before, intelligence sources cited information about Russia's alleged preparation of a new massive attack on the territory of Ukraine. It was said that combined strikes using various types of weapons were possible.

Such reports directly contradict the thesis about the alleged «ban» on strikes, which is being spread by some Russian channels.

How to take such statements

Experts advise to rely exclusively on official messages from the defence forces, authorities and warning systems. Unofficial telegram sources often publish contradictory or unverified information.

A real change in tactics can only be confirmed by actual developments, not by statements from anonymous channels.

The context of information injections during the war

The role of unofficial military channels

Russian military telegram channels regularly publish insights about the alleged decisions of the command, but many of these reports are subsequently not confirmed.

The information space remains one of the key instruments of influence in times of war, so such statements need to be assessed with particular care.
