My theory is that these stories are purely to make the Russian military paranoid of its own troops
On the other hand there was video just yesterday of guys on crutches saying Russia was sending them back to the front. There have been protestors who are then jailed and conscripted.
The absolute best kind of propaganda is the type with a big grain of truth in the middle.
If I were Ukraine, I would most of the time say that we got information from enemy agents in the military, when I didn't, and then when I actually did I would say nothing about it. Kind of take the legitimate level of it that is happening, and the legitimate fear and overreaction about it from the Russian commanders, and just toss a little more fuel on that already real fire every now and again.
Also true, the most effective propaganda is the propaganda you don't know is propaganda.
