While peace talks may eventually silence the guns, the Kremlin disinformation apparatus is already drafting and pushing narratives to fracture post-war Ukraine.

As we mark three years since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the real possibility of peace negotiations between Ukraine and Russia is on the horizon. Not surprisingly, the Kremlin’s disinformation apparatus is already laying the groundwork for its next campaign to skew public perceptions in Russia’s favour.

Drawing on patterns that we have identified through almost a decade of monitoring pro-Kremlin outlets and exposing their bile, we have identified some of the likely narratives and information manipulation operations the Kremlin will deploy in an attempt to undermine Ukraine’s post-war sovereignty.

    Like I did say: The article reinforces the idea that we shouldn’t dare think about peace, that Russia is never to be trusted.

    While the Kremlin might theoretically accept the possibility of Ukraine’s EU membership, Russia is likely to push for more distant accession dates – 2035, 2040, or beyond – while simultaneously launching a two-pronged disinformation campaign.

    Will it accept it or not? They don’t seem to know but speculation is free

    Whatever shape the peace talks will take, Moscow will likely demand Ukraine be represented by specific individuals, possibly including pro-Russian politicians. And if they are not included in the Ukrainian delegation, Russia could then question the legitimacy of any agreement signed by the current Ukrainian leadership and push for immediate presidential elections in Ukraine where the Kremlin can deploy its influence operations.

    The whole article is like that. Russia is likely to do this, is probably going to do that.

    Considering that peace negotiations are on the horizon I view pieces like that, basically arguing for continuing the war, as plain disinformation from those parts of society who never had any qualms about the militarisation of Europe and want to see more of that.
