Thanks to its information operations, Ukraine managed to make 17,000 Russian soldiers desert without firing a single shot, according to the head of the U.S. Army Special Operations Command, Jonathan Braga.
According to the American commander, Ukraine employed propaganda methods that convinced thousands of Russians to abandon their positions.
"Messaging has played a huge role just in the tactical and operational sense in Ukraine. We've supported our Ukrainian partners there. You've had 17,000 Russians desert. That's 17,000 soldiers you didn't have to blow up on the battlefield or destroy. That has weakened the defensive mechanisms," Braga said.
