The ultimate goal is to undermine the credibility of Budanov and weaken the positions of the Ukrainian negotiating team. "A new special operation started on January 28: fake 'insider' messages on Telegram channels and social networks allegedly about the conflict between Budanov and Zaluzhny, with 'secret documents' about the detention. The goal is to weaken the positions of Ukrainian negotiators during negotiations with the USA and create the illusion of internal division," the political strategist emphasized. "Our task is to publicly analyze these technologies so that society is not led to emotional chaos and delegitimization of power," Posternak concluded.
