CinC Syrskyi on communication at front: There are cases when false information comes from combat zone

Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine General Oleksandr Syrskyi confirmed that he had received false reports from combat zones, so information from several sources is being processed for maximum objectivity.

He said this in an interview with RBC-Ukraine, Ukrinform reports.

"Unfortunately, there are cases when false information about the status and position of individual units is provided directly from the combat zone. This leads, first of all, to a threat to military personnel from other units who are engaged in combat or holding defenses nearby. Because when you think that there is a neighbor on your right or left, but in fact there is no one there, an enemy may suddenly appear. And this leads to losses," he said.

According to Syrskyi, in order to have objective information, we obtain it from many sources, including DeepState. “I don't want to say that this is the ‘last resort’ for obtaining realistic information, because it also makes mistakes. But it is a source of information that often helps to obtain data about the threat of losing a position,” said the commander.

In addition, data is also received from partners and other intelligence sources. There is direct contact with military units. A large amount of this kind of information is now provided by the Unmanned Systems Forces. They completely control the entire front line from the air and have information about the presence of military personnel in positions. “That is, by obtaining information from many sources, we achieve its objectivity,” Syrsky concluded.
