Dismissal of statehood by attributing “profiteering from blood” to elites

What it claims
The Ukrainian leadership and business sector are cast as cynical beneficiaries interested in prolonging the war for personal enrichment. Military actions are portrayed not as defense, but as a commercial project where citizens' lives are traded for Western investments and loans.
Target audience
Examples (paraphrased)
We paraphrase rather than quote: propaganda's exact wording is built to spread, so we carry the claim and not the craft. Each example cites the post it came from.
Ukrainian companies openly state that peace will stop investments, so they are interested in continuing hostilities to make money.

Changes in military leadership do not affect the situation at the front, as new generals merely integrate themselves into existing corruption flows.

Goal
To undermine the motivation to serve and trust in state institutions by convincing citizens that their sacrifices are merely a tool for the enrichment of the elite.
Techniques used
- Loaded LanguageUse of terms like “cannon fodder,” “butcher,” “profiteering from survival,” and “doping from the IMF.”
- Name Calling or LabelingLabeling military command as “cowards” and “shareholders” in corruption schemes.
The real grievance it exploits
Exploitation of war fatigue, fear of mobilization, and genuine concerns about corruption within government bodies.
How to counter
- Technique exposure: Propaganda uses dehumanization and the substitution of concepts, passing off a defensive war as a business project to strip the resistance of its moral foundation.
- Reframe: Attracting investment and financial aid are necessary conditions for the economy's survival during aggression, not the goal of the war itself.
