Savvy Ukrainian messaging has caused 17,000 Russian soldiers to desert. 🇺🇦💙💛🇺🇦

#Repost @kyivindependent_official with @use.repost . . . Ukrainian information warfare has driven 17,000 Russian soldiers off the battlefield, U.S. Army Special Operations Commander Jonathan Braga said, as reported by Business Insider on Nov. 1.

The general said that savvy Ukrainian messaging has convinced thousands of Russian fighters to desert their posts. "Messaging has played a huge role just in the tactical and operational sense," Braga said at the Association of the US Army's annual conference, held Oct. 9-11.

"We've supported our Ukrainian partners there. You've had 17,000 Russians desert. That's 17,000 soldiers you didn't have to blow up on the battlefield or destroy."

Ukraine has leveraged low morale among Russian troops into successful media campaigns that help increase the desertion rate.
