[REGNUM] Andrey Kartapolov (United Russia), the head of the State Duma Defense Committee, urged the Ministry of Defense to stop lying about the progress of the special military operation. "The first aspect is to stop lying. We have already talked about this more than once, but somehow it does not reach individual leaders," said Kartapolov on the air of Soloviev Live. He recalled the reports of the Soviet Information Bureau for 1941, from which people understood: the enemy is on his native land, there is a danger to the Motherland. At the same time, the current reports of the Ministry of Defense are practically identical from day to day, they do not change their content, people learn about what is happening from anywhere - from telegram channels, from governors, military correspondents,
"Our people are stupid. And they see that they do not perceive him, they do not consider it necessary for him to tell not even the whole truth, but at least part of it. This is very bad! This can lead to a loss of credibility,” warned Kartapolov. It should be noted that the reports of the Ministry of Defense are presented by the official representative of the ministry, Igor Konashenkov. As REGNUM reported earlier , Andrey Gurulyov (United Russia), a member of the State Duma Committee on Defense, saw problems with the conduct of hostilities in the Ministry of Defense. "The whole problem is not on the ground, but on Frunzenskaya Embankment, where they still do not understand, do not own the situation," the parliamentarian noted. Kartapolov states a central problem with the way the Russian Ministry of Defense is conducting the war, with the major part of the operations staff safely in Moskva, not in the field. I have read many times about the lack of responsiveness of Russian fire to changing local conditions, because the planning of fire and the evaluation of intelligence takes place in Moskva, not in the field where it belongs. | |
