Russian authorities hope that the appearance of “little noise” will strengthen public support for the war.
In the Russian Federation, state media journalists are sometimes allowed to tell the truth about Russian military failures in Ukraine. Bloomberg reported this, citing sources.
The publication states that the Kremlin is afraid that the optimistic reports of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation increase the distrust of the population in the government and, together with propaganda, cause a wave of public criticism of the military.

$.get(‘//’ + window.location.host + ‘/ajax/module.aspx?spm_id=444&id=4522761&lang=2&IsAjax=true’, function (data) { $(‘#nk4522761’).html(data); });
}

So, a few weeks ago, the media received permission to “stop criticism” and “find those responsible for the failures.” This can be seen in the statements of prominent propagandists.
Russian authorities hope that the appearance of “little noise” will strengthen public support for the war. In particular, the state media must create an image or appearance that mistakes are taken into account and corrected, as, for example, in the mobilization of ineligibility for service.
It is noted that this decision was agreed with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Since the beginning of the summer, he has held at least two private meetings with a small group of Russian war correspondents, according to the sources. One of them took place shortly before the decision to mobilize 300 thousand people.
Adding that during the last meeting, the correspondents told Putin that in just a few weeks, Ukrainian forces had recaptured large parts of the territory that had been occupied by Russian troops for several months. Some of the president’s interlocutors left that meeting questioning whether Putin had any idea about the real situation at the front.
It was previously reported that propagandists of the Russian Federation have found a way to evade sanctions. TV reports of Russian state channels were published on the poorly moderated Telegram, and from there, without any reference to the Russian media, these videos were uploaded and reposted on other platforms.
