Putin is very afraid of big losses and retreats. Therefore, he is trying in some areas – Popasnyansky, Rubizhny – to demonstrate at least some success.
This was announced by the former head of foreign intelligence, General Nikolai Malomuzh.
According to him, Putin demonstrates success in order to keep Russian society in good shape and impose propaganda on them. On the other hand, there is the possibility of losing the support of the population of the Russian Federation.
“Currently, up to 30 thousand dead and 55-60 thousand wounded are concrete grounds for destabilization in Russian society. Therefore, Putin needs to keep the bar in good shape: we are winning. Therefore, in the Lugansk and Donetsk directions, which they declared as priorities, today it is necessary to show success every day,” said Mykola Malomuzh.
He also added that the Russian occupiers can prepare a southern operation in order to generate forces for a further offensive on the Nikolaev, Kherson, Zaporozhye regions.
“Now such systematic work is not only an image and success, but a prerequisite for the negotiation processes. No wonder Medinsky said that Ukraine is not going to negotiations. They want to gain as many arguments as possible, due, as they say, to new successes, new occupied territories, and then talk about negotiations with the Ukrainian side.But I will say that this will not happen, because in this situation we are raising a tough question: withdraw all troops from Ukraine completely and provide a complete security model, “the former head of the foreign intelligence.
Recall that Zelensky spoke about the work of the United 24 platform and called for joining the support of Ukraine.
