"Putin is not a fool, but the bariga - stolen to the war and rolled up the Russians for slaughter," - political scientist (video)

Hidden mobilization in the Russian Federation will continue, because according to US intelligence, Russians already have 315 thousand irreversible losses at the front. Volunteers will be not enough for replenishment, says expert Igor Petrenko. There is an unspoken contract between Putin and his people, under which he "plays in war", but most Russians will not be attached to this process.

Let Tuvintsi or other inhabitants of distant regions go to the war, so Putin tries to demonstrate that there is no forced mobilization, but there are only contractors or volunteers. Political scientist and expert Igor Petrenko told this in an interview with focus. According to the expert, all the words of the President of the Russian Federation about the number of 450 thousand volunteers recruited is an attempt to confirm the society that he is safe from forced mobilization.

On his "straight line" Putin spoke a lot about the economy and said that the country was moving to success, but spoke little about the war. "But this unspoken contract Putin will still be violated," Igor Petrenko emphasizes. "Because, according to the most conservative estimates of US special services, the Russian army has suffered at least 315 thousand irreversible losses.

" Putin will have to continue the mobilization, just try to hide it as much as possible from the "deaf people" as far as the situation will allow, the political scientist notes. And after the election, Putin can do anything with this "people" and drive to the war, explaining that the United States has allocated another assistance to billions of dollars in Ukraine and we need to give a "decent repelled collective event," the expert says.

"Everyone who votes for Putin is truly voting for the continuation of the war - they want it, but not their own hands," says Igor Petrenko. "Putin knows clearly that his country has no opposition and civil society and he can do with people anything". In fact, Putin does not believe in these "Bandera" and "Nazis" in Ukraine, who is constantly talking about, notes the specialist.

For him, war with Ukraine is the realization of imperial encroachments and a good way to hide everything stolen from the Russians, because all the costs and inhibition in the development of the country can be written off for war. "Putin is not a fool, but a very smart bariga," says Igor Petrenko. "And if 15% of normal Russians find the strength to change something, or the Russian Federation simply has no future.
