Russia is preparing a new information attack on Ukraine and Europe — Budanov

Budanova stated this during the international forum "Information Warfare: From Resistance to Resilience."

From September 12, there will be a crazy wave of information escalation. The leaks will come from absolutely all sides. 90 percent of them will be Russian, 10 percent, unfortunately, others. Hysteria will be rampant.

According to him, these military and military-political exercises are aimed at practicing maneuvers in the western direction of the theater of military operations.

They will play out certain elements of the future war. This is not about Ukraine. Here ... a symbol and a sign for, first of all, European countries, first of all, for the Baltic countries.

Budanov emphasized that with the beginning of the active phase of these exercises, the Baltic countries will come under serious information pressure, which will be accompanied by all kinds of accusations and provocations.
