Everyone was waiting for May 9th. This date was made sacred , first of all, by American and British intelligence, predicting that Putin would officially declare war on Ukraine and, as a result, start the flywheel of general mobilization. However, this did not happen.

About whether, when evaluating the Russian car, it is generally necessary to focus on these sacred dates, adjusting the situation on the battlefield to fit them, military expert Oleg Zhdanov on the air of the United Marathon.

“I think so. Russia lives in the paradigm, as they call it, the Great Patriotic War. And in this war, politicians command more than the military. Look at how the tasks are set. The information is not 100% verified, but we know that it seems to be the task was set to reach the borders of the regions (Donetsk and Luhansk – ed.) before May 7, which is why, when they conduct analytics, they think based on the tasks set by Putin, how has it always been in the empire? Bread and circuses. They don’t have enough bread, therefore, it is necessary to compensate with spectacles. What can be a spectacle? These are victories and an incentive for the population to further sacrifice for the sake of the victories of the empire. The Russians always act according to the classics. From there such forecasts. Such dates and such results, “he said.

In addition, according to Zhdanov, the next sacred date is June 12 – the Day of Russia.

“The next date is June 12 – Russia Day. I think that they will miss June 21, because it does not fit into the paradigm of victory in any way, but on the contrary, it is more to defeat. But Russia Day, yes, this may be the next sacred date for new victories and spectacles,” he concluded.

Earlier, Zhdanov named the real reason why Putin removed the “doomsday plane” and all aviation from the parade.
