Ukraine’s Military Intelligence Claims Resistance to Vaccine Sharia Is Organized by Russia to Legitimize Imminent Invasion

The head of Ukrainian military intelligence told The Military Times yesterday that psychological warfare in preparation for Russia’s oncoming January invasion is already underway:

Russia has more than 92,000 troops amassed around Ukraine’s borders and is preparing for an attack by the end of January or beginning of February, the head of Ukraine’s defense intelligence agency told Military Times.

Any such attack, however, would first follow a series of psychological operations currently underway designed to destabilize Ukraine and undermine its ability to fight, said Budanov, speaking through an interpreter.

“They want to foment unrest, through protests and meetings, that show the people are against the government,” he said.

Those efforts include ongoing anti-COVID-19 vaccination protests that Budanov said have been organized by Russia, which is also trying to stoke unrest related to the economy and energy supplies.

That’s right. According to the Ukrainian military intelligence chief, resistance to vaccine compulsion in Ukraine is actually organized by the Kremlin, as a prelude to an imminent military offensive.

“They want to foment…protests…that show the people are against the government” these “psychological operations” are “currently underway”.

Of all the governments out there demonizing vaccine compulsion resistors, the Ukrainians take the cake. Trying to delegitimize resistors as agents of your neighbor’s military power is certainly a new one.

While the idea of Russian tanks rolling in to free the uninjected from vaccine coercion is an intriguing one, such liberalization would not follow in the wake of Russian tanks. For that premise to be credible the armor would have to be Belarusian.
