Even assuming itβs true (for the sake of argument) why would you say such a thing?
Especially if itβs true.
For internal consumption.
Just keep saying you're winning massive victories and planning to rename the streets in Amsterdam, and some Russians might be dumb enough to believe it
Hehe, I guess it is the kind of thing that you would not say if itβs true, so that means itβs not true because they said it.
Or something. It gets confusing fast.
Or they say it just so you think that isn't their plan, while it actually is their plan all along.
Russian is good at propaganda.
To get the country behind the idea of fighting a long hard war. That is needed right now fighting Ukraine and much more of it is needed, if they would fight the EU.

To get everyone at war and boost military industry sales
