Statements by officials and the military-political leadership are a tool of influence. But the predictions about the entry of the Ukrainian Armed Forces into Crimea have come true, and Ukrainians were there this year. This was stated in an interview with Andriy Yusov, a representative of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Defense Ministry.
Commenting on the statements that the Ukrainian army will enter the occupied Crimea this year, Yusov emphasized that information is also a weapon.
"Information from officials, from the military-political leadership, is also a tool of influence. They are made when it is needed and the appropriate result is obtained," he said.
At the same time, the GUR representative emphasized that the Ukrainian military had visited the occupied Crimea this year, particularly in the summer.
"As for the specific statements, they have come true. Ukrainians were in Crimea this year and this summer," Yusov added.
