Active Measures

The Belarusian Narrative in Ukraine

15 July 2020

Telegram allows for the producing of common content for a Russian-speaking audience, which is especially numerous in the south-eastern regions of Ukraine and Belarus – the number one target for Kremlin’s active measures.

Belarus has always been of particular interest and strategic importance to Russia. At the time of the onset of open aggression against Ukraine and the occupation of Donbas and Crimea, Moscow launched an active offensive on the sovereignty of its ally in order to keep Minsk in the orbit of its domination, to “force integration” and to exploit Belarus’s resources.

To this end, Moscow employs a whole range of so-called active measures along with other tools of hybrid influence.

According to the report by special counsel Robert Mueller, active measures are operations carried out by Russian special services with the goal of influencing the course of international relations.
