Kremlin's Disinformation Practices Impact Military Strategy and International PerceptionsTue 23rd Dec, 2025A recent analysis highlights a growing culture of misinformation within Russia's military leadership, which appears to be shaping both domestic and international perceptions of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Reports from multiple think tanks and international media suggest that Russian President Vladimir Putin is being presented with overly optimistic and, at times, inaccurate updates regarding the state of military operations. Experts suggest that the propagation of these narratives has fostered a feedback loop, reinforcing belief in Russia's military prospects and potentially influencing foreign policy debates in Western countries. Analysts suggest that Russia's earlier economic resilience, buoyed by high global commodity prices and robust domestic consumption, is waning. In summary, the entrenched culture of disinformation within Russia's military and governmental apparatus is shaping both internal strategies and external perceptions.
