The Russian military has issued a memo to soldiers being sent to Ukraine, most of which is devoted to the ideological justification for the war. The memo from the Russian military asserts they are convinced that the US has decided to "destabilise" Russia, faced with a "deficit of resources". Accordingly, the United States wanted to "suck all the juice" out of Russia. Therefore, according to the authors of the brochure, they are trying to conquer Russia "with foreign hands" and "dismember" it. "Western countries are no longer satisfied with Russia's ‘honourable capitulation’. Their goal is to plunge the country into chaos and anarchy, destroy statehood and dismember the country," the memo says. The Russian invaders are also convinced that "active Nazis" and the perpetrators of "numerous bloody crimes of the Kyiv regime" deserve only to be "brought to justice"...One of those who fought in Ukraine last spring and soon left the service spoke briefly about the content of the brochure: "Goebbels-style [indoctrination - ed.], what can I say. We didn't have such [memos - ed.]: we had to enter Kyiv in 12 hours."
