By spreading such messages, anonymous social media accounts exaggerate their influence on the mood of Ukrainian society during the war. Allegedly due to the fact that the authorities do not tell the Ukrainians about the real state of things, what they are preparing for and where Ukraine is heading, disappointment will only grow. They say that only alternative sources of information give the people answers about what the reality will be and how to prepare for it, so Ukrainians are buying up various things that will help them survive in the event of a power outage and heating. Neither the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi, nor the mayor of Kyiv Vitalii Klychko, nor any head of the regional military state administration hides the fact that the Russian army is carrying out genocide of the Ukrainian people and destroying infrastructure. Authorities urge people to prepare the necessary supplies and explain how to act and where to look for information in the worst case scenario. This means that the authorities have not given up, but are considering different scenarios in order to endure and be prepared.

Anonymous channels spreading insider information is one of the tactics of Russian propaganda. On critical days, these sources will begin to disperse panic and intimidation, which work no worse than missiles and are informational terror.

Such information is spread by pro-Russian anonymous telegrams. Allegedly, the declassification of passwords from Zaluzhnyi’s Instagram account is a continuation of the leak of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine by the Office of the President and personally by Andrii Yermak.

Valerii Zaluzhnyi's Instagram is not related to his professional activities, there are only children and family photos. Therefore, to call it the “Zaluzhnyi’s leak”, firstly, is incorrect.

Secondly, there is a war in Ukraine, the office of the president and the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine work as a team, there are no misunderstandings between them. This was confirmed by Volodymyr Zelenskyi.

Thirdly, Russian propagandists have been trying to qet Zelenskyi and Zaluzhnyi to “quarrel” almost since the beginning of the war. In August, the Security Service of Ukraine discovered a million bot farm that was spreading fakes about Zaluzhnyi's alleged conflict with the President's Office.

Due to the fact that Russia is now losing the war against Ukraine, propagandists are throwing theses about a global offensive into the information space. According to one version, it should begin in early November, and then Russia will begin to fight at full power, recently propagandists have postponed the offensive to the end of the month. They say that in Russia they will prepare reserves and begin “to take out to the front everything that has been prepared and developed for so long”.

Thus, Russian propaganda is trying to intimidate Ukrainians and hide their own failures at the front, humiliating retreats and the fact that a Russian victory in this war is unrealistic. Also, the propagandists cover up with stories about the power of the Russian army the real picture that the mobilized Russians have no motivation to fight against Ukraine, they commit suicide before reaching the front, and when they get to Ukraine, they look for ways to surrender.

In February, Russia was already planning to take Kyiv in three days. Defeated, the Russian military launched airstrikes on populated areas and Ukrainian energy infrastructure.
