The word "war" is recommended not to be used and admit that they are Russians.

In the village of Dymerka (Kyiv region), liberated from Russian aggressors, the National Museum of Ukrainian History staff found manuals explaining how to answer questions from the local population. The NotaYenota project published two pages of these manuals, and their existence was confirmed to Detector Media by the museum staff. According to them, the document was found in the village council, which the Russians seized.

These “guidelines” recommend that occupiers not use the words "war" and "murder.” Answer all the questions so that "the residents believe that the Ukrainian authorities have left the local population without pensions, social benefits, protection, electricity, and water."

We must also avoid explicit recognition that the occupiers are Russians; we must answer that the invaders are "both Russians and Ukrainians, but most importantly - that they are Orthodox," as well as Ukrainians. The primary purpose of such answers is to make people doubt the Ukrainian government and shift the responsibility for the war to the government or the president.

These methods are another proof of the information war against Ukrainians and an example of military information and special psychological operations conducted by murderers in the Ukrainian occupied territories.
