In what could be a game-changer in the Ukraine-Russia standoff, Moscow has made bold claims about their troops storming the Ukrainian region of Dnipropetrovsk.

But, the local military governor brushed these whispers aside as plain hogwash, claiming the enemy was just trying to scare the region's inhabitants and destabilize the situation. [Citation Needed]
Propagation or Pressure?

They suggest that a push into the Dnipropetrovsk region would serve more as a propaganda stunt and psychological warfare than a genuine military objective, considering the region is mostly open fields along the Donetsk border.
