> The tool also allowed for the management of the persona profiles through an administrator panel called “Brigadir” and the spreading of disinformation through these profiles through a seeding tool called “Taras.”

Brigadir is something like team leader, not necessarily military. Taras is a bit odd, it's a typical Ukrainian name https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taras_(name), and I can see it used in a derogatory way. Like say if the FBI used "Ivan" as their tool targeting Russians.

I suspect the idea is to influence the social media via fake Ukrainian personas sowing discord or sounding ridiculous, as a way to erode support. They probably gave up trying to make Russian army or government look good, and instead are focusing on making Ukrainians look bad.
