Andrii Yusov, Deputy Head of the Coordination Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War, has said Russia's show of readiness to launch a large-scale strike on Ukraine followed by the announcement of a "truce" is a form of psychological pressure.

Quote: "As for the attacks, yes, of course, people were preparing for attacks, and they were right to do so. We have had no training air-raid alerts since the start of the full-scale invasion. And of course this is also a tool of pressure and psychological influence: signalling a readiness to strike, then delaying or postponing the attacks."

Details: Yusov said the Russians are using a tactic that combines military and psychological pressure on Ukrainians, "who have been living under stress in wartime conditions for over four years".
