Want to disrupt the elections: Putin commented on a large -scale raid RDC and LSR

According to the head of the Kremlin, such attacks of volunteer battalions are allegedly "against the background of the failures of Ukraine on the line of contact" and are designed for "information effect". Russian President Volodymyr Putin said that the invasion of the Freedom of Russia, the RDC and the Siberian Battalion to the Kursk and Belgorod regions is an attempt to violate the election process and gain an advantage for possible diplomatic negotiations on territorial exchange.

The Russian leader said this in an interview with Russian journalist Dmitry Kiselev, reports RIA Novosti. "The main goal, I have no doubt, if you do not disrupt the presidential election in Russia, at least somehow interfere with the normal process of the will of citizens. The first. The second is the information effect I have already said.

But the third - If something works, get a chance, some argument, some trump card in a possible future negotiation process: well, we will return you to you, and you will return it to us, ”Putin said. He said that, on the other hand, such incidents, in his opinion, occur in the context of Ukraine's failures on the front and are aimed at achieving information influence. Putin also claims that there are foreign mercenaries among volunteers.

"Here on the state border, the enemy tried to attack, above all, sabotage groups - here is the last report of the General Staff - about 300 people, in particular with the participation of foreign mercenaries," he said. It should be noted that in the same interview, Putin announced the country's readiness for possible nuclear confrontation.

In his speech, he decided to emphasize Russia's readiness for possible nuclear war, paying attention to both the military and the technical aspects of this training. The Russian president also stated that the Polish authorities seek to help Ukraine because the Poles have their far -reaching plans for Ukraine. We will remind, on March 12 former State Duma deputy Ilya Ponomarev stated that there is a fight on the border with Ukraine in the area of ​​Belgorod region.
