Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine explained why Kyiv hides the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
The Ukrainian authorities do not publish data on the losses of the Ukrainian armed forces during the counteroffensive. This was stated in her Telegram channel by Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine Anna Malyar.
A representative of the leadership of the Ukrainian military department explained why Kyiv hides the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. According to Malyar, there is an information war going on between Ukraine and Russia. This explains, in her opinion, the need for silence about the losses.
Malyar emphasized.
As the deputy minister of defense of the Kyiv regime noted, the presence of large amounts of information about the enemy makes it relatively easy to predict his capabilities and calculate action plans. Therefore, the parties to the conflict are trying to minimize the dissemination of genuine information, for example, about losses in personnel or military equipment.
It should be noted that the Ukrainian formations are suffering heavy losses in Zaporozhye and Yuzhno-Donetsk, as well as in other directions in the zone of the special military operation. The higher the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the more difficult it is to solve the problem of personnel shortages in Ukrainian formations. In addition, rumors about too high losses in any case penetrate into the civilian environment, forcing Ukrainian men, a potential mobilization resource, to hide from military registration and enlistment offices and even seek to leave Ukraine in order to avoid mobilization. Therefore, information about losses really has a serious impact on the further development of events, but it is not possible to hide the scale of the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
