Putin is ready to attack the Belgorod region to blame the Armed Forces - isw

Analysts say that the purpose of Russia is to intimidate the Russians and restore the level of war. The Kremlin probably creates informational conditions for attacking under someone else's flag on the Belgorod region of Russia. The purpose of Vladimir Putin is to restore the level of support for the war among the Russians. Analysts of the Institute of War Study (ISW) write about it.

The department noted that Russian propagandists began to hypothesize that Ukrainian troops were intended to invade the Belgorod region, and other sources claim that the occupiers need to capture Kupyansk Kharkiv region again to minimize the threat of the Armed Forces. In addition, the governor of the Russian region Vyacheslav Gladkov has published personnel that demonstrate the construction of a cherished line on the border with Ukraine.

This is now called the Wagner Line, because many people in Russia do not like the activity of the Wagner Group. ISW stated that Russia's statement about the attack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the Belgorod region, which is prepared, are not true and aimed only at intimidating the public and forcing it to support the war. Ukraine has no strategic interest in invasion of Russia and cannot do so on such a scale.

"These meaningless assumptions about fantastic Ukrainian invasion of Russia can also be part of the Kremlin's efforts to recognize and peace the Russian leading nationalist community," analysts say. In addition, the owner of the Wagner group Yevgeny Prigogin uses the injection of fear of the fictitious threat of the Ukrainian invasion and construction of the "shrunken line" to strengthen its power in the border regions of Russia.
