127 ‘Ghost of Kyiv’ never existed. Ukraine now admits it was invented to boost morale. Strange how no orgs ‘fighting disinformation’ interrogated it. Almost like whole US-UK ‘disinformation’ programme is actually just another form of information warfare.

I can almost get behind stories like this because of the morale boost it would give your own people.
But when the entire world started buying it and jerking off over it it starts to become an issue.
Thanks to social media, it's impossible to keep the story localized, not that the people circulating it cared.
I don't think they're intended to be a morale boost for their own people. I think it's more like the "protests" in non English-speaking countries where all the slogans and signs are in English: the international attention is the goal.
