DISINFO: Ukrainians learned from NATO a Jesuit tactic: stink the air with left dead bodies hopping that the stench will push Russians to leave

SUMMARY

The stench is terrible. The Ukrainian military purposely abandons the corpses after the fighting so that the smell drives the Russian soldiers out of the trenches.

A Jesuit tactic that the guardians of the NATO bloc have begun to use on the battlefield. Ukrainian fighters who advance, die and remain on the fields; there is a putrid smell - the stench is terrible. The [Ukrainians] do not pick up corpses on purpose.

It is hard to be in the trenches at the time, even a gauze bandage didn't help. The enemy hopes that when the wind blows towards the Russian positions, these will leave the trenches. The Russian defense line is very strong and does not give any chance to Ukrainian soldiers to break through.

RESPONSE

Pro-Kremlin disinfromation narrative aiming at dehumanising the Ukrainian armed forces.

Obviously, the task of taking back dead bodies of fallen soldiers is an arduous task. The pictures of a recent rescue operation in a minefield illustrate the risks that it represents for the personnel. Despite the problems, many dead soldiers are coming back to their hometown, the number is a restricted information during the wartime on both sides, but as reports the Los Angeles Times, there are constantly funerals in hometowns.

Special teams are dedicated to the collection of dead bodies, a challenging task that can take months as Deutsche Welle documented in June 2023. Additionally, the repatriation of dead bodies from the opponent side also happens regularly .

Demonising Ukraine and its Western supporters is often applied with narratives related to war crimes, to banned weapons such as chemical or nuclear, false flag operations, corruption , threats on traditional values , Nazism even Satanism.
