The Ukranian government seems to be very media-savvy, but for me this is noise compared to signal (important government declarations about the conflict, not about income tax on seized equipment), I feel like saying "My god man, can't you be a little serious, there's a fucking war going on!".

Thought the same. This is the German wet dream.

Morale is very important in a war, especially if you're the side with the technological disadvantage. I feel like a lot of the Ukrainian gov communications tries to keep up the morale.
It also shows that the Government is still able to work, also an important signal to the country.

Sometimes a laconic demeanor is exactly what the troops need from their leadership.

its also a great way to motivate a subset of society... and redirect their efforts from looting to making sure the russians dont re-take their kit.

#9The Ukranian social media propaganda operation is just incredible, and they should keep at it because I think it's been a big part of the massive popular support in the West causing rapid government and NGO response to the invasion.
Conversely they've been pretty effective at stopping information about their own disposition of forces being posted to social media, or at least it's not being retweeted anywhere I've seen.

It's not their propaganda operation, it's ours.
